PREFACE. 



The busy practitioner must need possess a great power 
of recollection to meet, in the perplexities and anxieties of 
study and diagnosis, that other most important exaction — 
i.e., the selection of the most suitable remedy or remedies 
adapted to the case in hand ; therefore, convenient resource 
and suggestion are here offered. The general therapeutic 
intention of the many physicians who have originated the 
formulae on the ensuing pages will, of course, be obvious 
to the observant practitioner, though a suggestion as to the 
dose most efficient in certain indications and phases of disease 
may prove acceptable. We have therefore sought to make the 
approximation of dose as nearly a safe guide to judgment as 
is possible, although much of this discretion will devolve 
upon the attending physician at the bedside of the patient. 
It is our hope, however, that in compiling this schedule of 
doses, with the comprehensive catalogue of remedies here 
presented, we may have rendered a signal and valued service 
to the medical profession at large. 

We have published from time to time many reprints from 
prominent journals, having reference to the therapy of some 
preparations, and which would no doubt prove of considerable 
interest; but, owing to lack of space, these articles have been 
omitted from this work, although, when requested, we will 
always be glad to send copies of such papers to physicians 
for perusal. 

In closing this brief reference to the "Epitome," we 
presume to reiterate our claim for the high standard and 
character of our preparations, and we confidently solicit a 
continuance of that favor and preference which the medical 
profession has so long accorded the products of our labo- 
ratories. 



ELIXIRS. 



Elixir ACETANILID COMP. 

Each fluidounce contains 

Acetanilid 10 grains 

Salol h grains 

Phenacetine 8 grains 

Caffeine Citrate U grains 

Acid Tartaric , 2 grains 

Sodium Bicarbonate 12 grains 

This formula combines the nerve-sedative and analgesic properties of 
Acetanilid, Salol and Phenacetine ; the diuretic and stimulating proper- 
ties of the Caffeine render the combination valuable in neuralgic and 
other forms of headache. As an adjunct in the treatment of various 
infectious and contagious fevers its value is established : it soothes the 
irritated nerves, lessens the fever and allays pain. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls at intervals of two to four 
hours. 

Elixir ALOIN, BELLADONNA AND STRYCHNINE 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Aloin 1 grain 

Extract Belladonna Leaves 1-8 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

This combination, which has proven so very popular in pill form, has 
been prepared in the form of an Elixir, made palatable with saccharine, 
to meet the requirements of one of the largest hospitals for the insane in 
America, where it is used very successfully in treating such patients who 
need a mild laxative or cathartic and will not take a pill. As there are 
mdny delicately constituted people, as well as children, who have the 
same aversion to medicine in pill form, we were induced to present this 
Elixir to the physician for use in such cases, and are pleased to note it 
has been favorably accepted. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two fiuidrachms upon retiring. 

Elixir ALOIN, BELLADONNA AND 
STRYCHNINE COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Aloin 1-8 grain 

Extract Belladonna Leaves 5-8 minim 

Strychnine 1-80 grain 

Podophyllin 1-8 grain 

While this preparation possesses all the desirable therapeutic prop- 
erties of the Elixir Aloin, Belladonna and Strychnine described above, 
it contains, in addition, the decided hepatic-stimulating property of the 
Podophyllin, which enhances its value as a laxative and cathartic. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two fiuidrachms.

Elixir AMMONIUM VALERIANATE. 

Each ftuidrachm contains 2 grains Ammonium Valerianate. 

This preparation, combining in a form agreeable and convenient the 
stimulant and antispasmodic properties of both Valerian and Ammonium, 
has proven a valuable agent in cases of nervous derangement, neuralgia, 
hysteria, nervous headache, and in all those complicated disorders con- 
sequent upon nervous debility and depression. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two or three 
hours, or more frequently if not relieved. 



Elixir ANTI-ASTHMATIC (Hare). 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Sodium Iodide 2 grains 

Sodium Bromide 2 grains 

Fluid Extract Euphorbia 3 minims 

Glonoin (Nitroglycerine) 1-200 grain 

Tincture Lobelia (Herb) 2 minims 

This Elixir, emanating from such high authority, merits the great 
popularity which it has attained. It has been found so beneficial in the 
treatment of asthma and kindred affections that it has become a standard 
prescription for all physicians who have realized its pronounced efficiency. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls every three or four hours, as advised 
by the attending physician. 



Elixir ANTI-DYSPEPTIC. 

(SEE EUXIR PEPSIN AND THYMOI, COMP. ) 

Elixir BEEF, MILK AND GLUTEN (Peptonized). 

The albuminous principles of the Beef, Milk and Wheat have been 
separated from the less nutritious and less digestible parts — the fibrin, 
casein and starch, respectively, and have been carefully treated with 
pepsin, converting them into a thoroughly predigested condition ready 
for immediate assimilation. 

The rationale of the chemistry of this Elixir will strongly appeal to 
the practitioner desiring a thoroughly predigested, highly nutritious food 
and tonic to prescribe in cases of enfeebled digestion, wasting diseases, 
or to assist in the building up and strengthening of a patient after a 
long and continuous illness. The tax upon the digestive organs to 
assimilate this food is almost infinitesimal, since the perfectly predigested 
condition in which the three ingredients are presented leaves practically 
nothing to be done, thereby the nutritive, tonic and stimulating effect 
being almost immediate. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two tablespoonfuls four or five times a 
day. It may be further increased or given more frequently upon the 
advice of the attending physician. 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 3 

Elixir BEEF, MILK AND GLUTEN (Peptonized). 

IN COMBINATION WITH CREASOTE AND GUAIACOL. 

Each finidounce contains 

Beechwood Creosote 4 minims 

Guaiacol 2 minims 

The albuminous principles of the Beef, Milk and Wheat have been 
separated from the less nutritious and less digestible parts— the fibrin, 
casein and starch, respectively, and have been carefully treated with 
pepsin, converting them into a thoroughly predigested condition ready 
for immediate assimilation. 

Creasote and Guaiacol have been associated with the above Elixir, pre- 
senting antiseptic and autitubercular properties, which are often desira- 
ble to obtain in conjunction with the nourishing, toning and stimulating 
effect of the preparation. The combination is readily accepted and 
assimilated without any degree of nausea or eructations. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two tablespoonfuls four or five times a 
day. It may be further increased or given more frequently upon the 
advice of the attending physician. 

Elixir BISMUTH. 

Each fluidractim contains % grains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate. 

This agreeable Elixir is indicated in the many painful affections of 
the stomach and bowels, being efficient in smaller doses than the in- 
soluble salts. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful. 

Elixir BISMUTH AND STRYCHNINE. 

Each ftuidrachm contains 

Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate % grains 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

This combines the bland effects of a soluble salt of Bismuth with 
the nerve-tonic results of Strychnine upon the stomach and bowels, 
relieving pain and overcoming the depression that often follows spas- 
modic affections of these organs. 

Dose. — For adults, one fiuidrachm. 

Elixir BLACK HAW COMP. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Black Haw 60 grains 

IVlnte Alkaloid of Hydrastine , equivalent to Hydrastis, 60 grains 

Jamaica Dogwood SO grains 

Aromatics q. s. 

The attention of the medical profession is called to this preparation on 
account of the unquestioned value as a uterine tonic and antispasmodic. 
It is specially indicated in dysmenorrhea, uterine colic, threatened abor- 
tion, leucorrhcea dependent on a relaxed and debilitated condition of the 
uterus and, in fact, all uterine troubles requiring tonic and antispasmodic 
treatment. 

Dose. — For adults, one-half to two teaspoonfuls in an equal quantity 
or more of water. 



4 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

Elixir BROMIDE COMP.

Elixir BUCHU, JUNIPER, UVA URSI and 
POTASSIUM ACETATE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Buchu 10 grains 

Juniper Berries . 5 grains 

Uva Ursi 5 grains 

Potassium Acetate 3 grains 

This combination represents, medicinally, the stimulating, diuretic and 
diaphoretic value of Buchu, Juniper Berries and Uva Ursi, blended with 
the calmative and deobstruent effect of the alkaline salt. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls three times a day, before meals. 

Elixir BUCKTHORN BARK. 

Each fluidrachm represents SO grains of Buckthorn Bark. 

This Elixir will be found to be an agreeable and pleasant remedy for 
cases of habitual constipation, also in giving tone to the stomach and 
bowels. 

Dose. — For adults, one to three fluidrachms. 



Elixir CALCIUM BROMIDE COMP. 

Each fluidounce contains 72 grains of the combined salts: 
Calcium Bromide, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Iodide, Iron 
Chloride, Magnesium Sulphate, held in a solution of one 
Auidounce of the combined Fluid Extracts of Queen's Root, 
Sarsaparilla, yellow Dock Bitter Sweet, Burdock Root, 
Dandelion Root and Yellow Parilla. 

. This preparation possesses decided alterative and stimulating proper- 
ties and exerts its influence upon practically every tissue in the human 
economy. It causes a beneficial change in the altered nutrition of a 
diseased tissue or organ, promoting rapid resolution to the normal con- 
dition. It stimulates the lymphatic and glandular systems, increasing 
their absorptive powers to a decided degree, and produces a mild sedative 
action on the nerve centres, but is not a cardiac depressant. The Elixir 
is indicated in all forms of strumous diathesis and syphilis, particularly 
scrofulous glandular enlargements and indurations, also in the several 
varieties of eruptive, dry and scaly cutaneous affections. Its stimulating 
action on the mucous surfaces indicates its employment in the various 
acute and chronic inflammations of the respiratory tract, affording relief 
in bronchitis, naso-pharyngeal diseases and pathological processes in the 
lung, especially of a tuberculous origin. In neuralgia, acute or chronic 
rheumatism, necrotic processes of the osseous system, as well as all 
conditions requiring an alterative and stimulant, this preparation will 
prove a valuable remedy. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 5 

Elixir CALISAYA (Cinchona). 

Each fiuidrachm contains the equivalent in the alkaloids of Quinine and Cinchonim 
of 5 grains of Calisaya Bark. 

The grateful and invigorating in fluence of this preparation is peculiarly 
adapted to persons enfeebled by sickness or debility. The bitterness of 
the Peruvian Bark being blended with aromatics renders it a pleasant 
cordial, acceptable to the stomach and invigorating to the system. 

Dose. — For adults, from one dessertspoonful to one tablespoonful. 
For children, one teaspoonful. 

Elixir CALISAYA BARK AND BISMUTH.

Elixir CALISAYA BARK, IRON AND BISMUTH. 

Each fiuidrachm contains 

Calisaya Bark 5 grains

In this Elixir the antiperiodic and tonic effect of the Peruvian Bark 
and the chalybeate tonic action of the Iron are both greatly increased in 
value by the addition of a soluble salt of Bismuth, and it is useful in the 
treatment of cases of debility dependent upon enfeebled digestion or 
associated with gastritis. 

Dose. — One teaspoonful to one dessertspoonful three times a day. 

Elixir CALISAYA BARK, IRON, BISMUTH AND 
STRYCHNINE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains

Calisaya, Iron and Bismuth by the addition of a prompt nerve tonic ; 
hence this combination has been offered and has proved very valuable. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful. For children, graduate 
according to age. 



6 Kindly specify " WyeTh's" when prescribing. 

Elixir CALISAYA BARK, IRON, PEPSIN, 
BISMUTH AND STRYCHNINE.

Calisaya Bark 5 grains 

Iron and Ammonium Citrate 2 grains

Each fluidrachm contains 

Calisaya Bark 5 grains

Dose. — One teaspoonful. 

Elixir CALISAYA AND TINCT. IRON CHLORIDE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Tincture Iron Chloride {official) 5 minims 

Calisaya Bark 5 grains 

The therapeutic value of this Elixir as a general tonic and antiperiodic 
is greatly appreciated on account of the desirable combination of Iron 
and Cinchona Bark in an agreeable and active form. The combined 
salts of the Cinchona Bark are used, assuring its thorough action as an 
antiperiodic. The taste of the Tincture of Iron Chloride being very 
styptic, a small quantity of acidulated Citrate of Potassium is added, ren- 
dering it agreeable, obviating its action upon the teeth and lessening 
liability to induce diarrhoea. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful three times a day. For chil- 
dren, give one-half to one teaspoonful. 

Elixir CASCARA SAGRADA, AROMATIC. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Cascara Bark 15 grains 

Aromatics q- s. 

The deserved popularity of this drug, together with the various 
methods adopted to render it palatable and less nauseous and bitter 
without injuring the therapeutical value, has induced us to offer to the 
profession our "Aromatic Elixir," which embraces all the essential prin- 
ciples in an unchanged condition. Our direct source of supply is the Cali- 
fornia districts, where the bark is carefully gathered and thoroughly cured 
before shipping, and after arriving at our laboratories it is kept three years 
under proper storage conditions, insuring a better effect than is possible with

much of the bark which is sold for manufacturing purposes ; hence we 
can unhesitatingly claim that we are offering the various preparations of 
this bark — viz. , our Fluid Extract and Elixir — as possessing in the highest 
degree the full remedial attributes, which may be classified therapeuti- 
cally as combining those of a cathartic and laxative with that of a valuable 
stomachic bitter. It is useful in cases of habitual constipation, relieving 
hemorrhoidal and other affections of the pelvic organs. It also improves 
the appetite, imparts tone to the digestive organs, and, by increasing the 
secretions of the gastro-intestinal canal, forms a very valuable laxative, 
which effect seems to popularize the use of this drug. 

Dose. — One dessertspoonful three times a day, before meals. 

Elixir CATNEP AND FENNEL. 

This Elixir is free from Bromides, Chloral, Opium, Paregoric 
or other Narcotics 

This Elixir is offered as a palatable compound of the time-honored 
and reliable carminatives, Catnep and Fennel, prepared from the freshly- 
gathered herbs, and owing also to its absolute simplicity and uniformity. 
Being entirely free from narcotics, anodynes ana bromides, the Elixir 
may be administered freely with safety, and no anxiety aroused with 
regard to any dangerous, disagreeable or injurious effects ; physicians and 
mothers will therefore recognize and appreciate it as an ideal preparation. 

With infants and young children, in cases of flatulency, colic or hys- 
teria, the effect following the use of the Elixir is most pronounced, 
affording speedy relief, soothing and calming the nerves, inducing a 
quiet sleep, from which the child awakens refreshed and bright, which is 
quite in contrast to the awakening from a sleep induced by paregoric or 
other opiates, which leave the child dull, listless and fretful, with the 
added disadvantage of lessening the desire for food, often inducing 
nausea. The readiness with which the Elixir may be administered, or the 
simple process of preparation for extreme cases of colic, commends it to 
the practitioner, and more especially to the mother and nurse, as a 
remedy which should always be on hand. This Elixir may be used just as 
it is, and in violent attacks of colic or during continued fretfulness while 
teething, may be diluted with hot water which will assist the rapidity of 
its action. It is, in fact, during the teething stage, a panacea for indi- 
gestion, acid or deranged stomach. 

The use of this Elixir will neither lead to a desire nor the necessity 
for its continued administration, a necessity quickly induced by prepara- 
tions containing anodynes and opiates. 

Many infants and children who are brought up on artificial foods 
retain such with difficulty, causing nausea and vomiting immediately 
after feeding or eating, and the Elixir in such cases has been found to be 
most effective ; and by giving small doses before or after feeding, the 
nauseating effect of the food is entirely destroyed. 

Primarily, the Elixir was devised for infants and children, but will 
afford speedy relief to adults, particularly the aged and infirm, suffering 
from indigestion, acid stomach and flatulent dyspepsia. 

Dose. — For an infant, one to four weeks old, suffering from flatulent 
colic, five to eight drops in a teaspoonful of warm water, every fifteen 
to twenty minutes until quieted or relieved by eructation, dose to be 
increased by one or two drops for each week exceeding four weeks in 
age. For acid stomach, nausea or simply as a corrective, the dose is the 
same, given at intervals of one-half to one hour. For an adult, one 
dessertspoonful, repeated within half an hour if necessary, and may be 
increased to a tablespoonful in cases of acute colic. 



8 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

Elixir CATHARTIC COMP., IMPROVED 

Each lablespoonful contains 

Tinnevelly Senna GO grains 

Podophyllin 1-16 grain 

Butternut 15 grains 

Rochelle Salts ..." 10 grains 

Sodium Bicarbonate 5 grains 

Aromatics 15 grains 

Tamarinds . . U> grains 

Physicians will find this cathartic to supply a want long felt by them. 
It is effective in small doses, acts without griping, does not occasion 
nausea, and is less apt to create irritation and congestion than any of the 
usual cathartics administered. The mild but certain action of this 
cathartic makes it especially valuable as a remedy for habitual constipa- 
tion, as it will be found to act promptly, with a tendency to lessen the 
disposition to costiveness, instead of increasing it, as is so often the case 
with drastic purgatives. 

Dose. — As a cathartic, adults should take a tablespoonful at night on 
going to bed, or before breakfast in the morning, unless directed other- 
wise by the physician. For constipation, where a gentle but regular 
action is desired, it will be well to take, at first, one or two teaspoonfuls, 
as it is impossible to lay down any fixed rules for persons suffering from 
habitual costiveness. Children, from four to twelve years of age, should 
take one to two teaspoonfuls, when an efficient cathartic is desired. 

The above directions, naturally, will often be modified by the attending 
physician, as he alone can judge intelligently of the susceptibilities of 
the patient. 

Elixir CELERY AND BLACK HAW COMP. 

Each fiuidrachm represents 

Celery Seeds 5 grains 

Kola Nuts 5 grains 

Coca Leaves 5 grains 

Black Haw 5 grains 

Aromatics q. s. 

The physician will find in this preparation a very valuable and prac- 
tical combination. It can be used with much success in the treatment 
of impotency, spermatorrhoea, loss of nerve power, neuralgia, inebriety, 
hysteria and in general debilitated condition of the system. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. 

Elixir CHLORAL COMP. 

SEDATIVE — ANODYNE 

Each fiuidrachm contains 

Chloral Hydrate 15 grains 

Potassium Bromide 15 grains 

Extract Henbane 1-8 grain 

Extract Indian Hemp, Foreign 1-8 grain 

This Elixir is similar in constituents and therapeutic effect to our 
Elixir Chloral and Potassium Comp., but, on account of the increased 
strength, is much more active and produces more prompt responses. We 
reiterate the notes on Elixir Chloral and Potassium Comp. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 9 

This Elixir will at once commend itself to physicians for administra- 
tion in all cases of sleeplessness, nervous irritability, neuralgic headache, 
convulsions, mania, etc., and will prove an invaluable adjunct in the 
treatment of fevers, relieving the restlessness and delirium in such cases 
without in any way interfering with the natural secretions. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated at the direction 
of the physician. 

Elixir CHLORAL AND POTASSIUM COMP. 

Each fluidounce contains 

Chloral Hydrate 1 drachm 

Potassium Bromide 2 scruples 

Extract Indian Hemp, Foreign 1 grain 

Extract Henbane 1 grain 

This Elixir will at once commend itself to physicians for administra- 
tion in all cases of sleeplessness, nervous irritability, neuralgic headache, 
convulsions, mania, etc., and will prove an invaluable adjunct in the 
treatment of fevers, relieving the restlessness and delirium in such cases 
without in any way interfering with the natural secretions. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated at the direction 
of the physician. 

Elixir CINCHONA FERRATED (Red Bark), 

(IRON AND PERUVIAN BARK) 
Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron and Ammonium Citrate 2 grains 

Red Peruvian Bark 5 grains 

This preparation embodies the cordial, tonic and antiperiodic prop- 
erties of its constituents, so modified by the combination as to avoid the 
objectionable effects of their distinct action. Its constant and continued 
use by our leading practitioners, and its often-attested good results, 
warrant our decided endorsement of its merits. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day, immediately 
before or after meals. 

Elixir COCA LEAVES. 

Each fluidounce contains SO grains Coca Leaves.' 

Our Elixir and Fluid Extract of Coca are prepared from the formula 
of the late Dr. Sam uei. Jackson, Professor of the Theory and Practice of 
Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. S. WEIR MITCHELL, 
who experimented with it very largely for many years. They used it 
with great success as a stimulant and tonic, finding it did not induce 
the after-relaxation, stomach or brain disturbances so often the case with 
tonic stimulants. We use an alkaline solution in exhausting the drug, 
with only sufficient alcohol to prevent fermentation. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful, which may be increased to 
one tablespoonful. 

Elixir CORDIAL AROMATIC. 

An agreeable and convenient vehicle for administering nauseous drugs. 
It is a colorless Elixir, and has the delicious taste and odor of ripe 
oranges. We also prepare the same Elixir colored red.

Elixir CRAMP BARK COMP. 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Cramp Bark 12 grains 

Scullcap S grains 

Wild Yam 6 grains 

Cinnamon 5 grains 

Cloves 5 grains 

Nutmeg 2 grains 

The popularity among physicians of the above formula, or modifica- 
tions thereof, is something phenomenal, if we are to judge of its efficacy 
by the rapidly increasing demand. Its therapeutic virtues doubtless 
depend largely upon the presence of Viburnum Opulus, which contains a 
volatile substance similar to, if not identical with, Valerianic Acid, which 
has long been known to possess valuable antispasmodic properties. In 
combination with the other designated ingredients, its action is that of a 
carminative, anodyne and tonic. As a Uterine Tonic, the utility of 
Elixir Cramp Bark Comp. is now firmly established, and for irregular, 
painful or suppressed menstruation it is claimed to be almost a specific. 
It is also used extensively for the correction of menorrhagia, uterine and 
ovarian neuralgias, and it is said its faithful employment will greatly 
obviate the necessity for the performance of formidable surgical opera- 
tions, after the failure of other remedies and combinations. 

Dose. — For adults, one-half to two teaspoonfuls in a wineglassful 
of hot water or milk, sweetened, every fifteen minutes, until relief is 
obtained, or jn such quantities and at such intervals as the attending 
physician may direct. It has been found by some practitioners to give 
very gratifying results when administered in a hot gin punch on retiring. 

Elixir DAMIANA, PHOSPHORUS AND NUX 
VOMICA. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Damiana 7 1-2 grains 

Nux Vomica . 1 grain 

Phosphorus 1-200 grain 

This preparation combines the peculiar tonic and aphrodisiac proper- 
ties of Damiana with the muscular stimulus of Nux Vomica and the 
powerful nervine qualities of Phosphorus. Its action is not rapid, but 
gradual and sustained. It is indicated in all cases of impotency, sperma- 
torrhcea, etc. , where other means have been tried without success. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful immediately after meals. 

Elixir of the DIGESTIVE FERMENTS. 

NOW USTED IN "SPECIALTIES" UNDER TITLE OF

and vaso-motor centres of the cord, and exerts a stimulating and tonic 
effect upon the cardiac muscle ; its stimulus upon the heart and vessel

walls is both quick in action and prolonged in effect. It produces a strong, 
full pulse, but slower in rate. The diuretic property of the preparation is 
pronounced, and produces its effect by controlling the vascular supply of 
the system. It is strongly indicated in all cases of valvular disease, espe- 
cially where the hypertrophy is not compensatory in action ; also in car- 
diac dilatation where there is a condition of relative weakness of the 
heart muscle. In sudden cardiac exhaustion from any cause, angina 
pectoris, and in any condition where a decided heart-stimulating effect is 
desired, it will be found a most valuable remedy. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, according to the direction of 
the attending physician. 

Elixir DIOSCOREA COMP.

Fl.Ext. Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) US minims

Fl. Ext. Caulophyllum Thalictroides (Blue Cohosh) . US minims 
Fl. Ext. Scutellaria Lateriflora (Scullcap) 45 minims 

Clinical experience will demonstrate the great value of this Elixir in 
affording relief from pain of the female genital tract. It is a powerful 
antispasmodic and uterine tonic sedative, does not derange the stomach, 
but stimulates a normal tonic effect on this organ. It is indicated in the 
treatment of dysmeuorrhcea, either congestive or neuralgic. In spasm 
and colic of the uterus and bowels it will at once afford relief by virtue of 
its marked astringent and nervine properties. For the pain and irritation 
incident to confinement it will be found of value ; especially will it 
effectually aid in preventing abortion and miscarriage. 

Dose. — For an adult, from a dessertspoonful to a tablespoonful three 
times a day, after meals. In urgent cases, where there is much pain, dose 
may be given every hour or two, always in hot water.

diaphoretic value of Buchu and Juniper Berries, blended with the 
calmative and deobstruent effect of the alkaline salt. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. 

Elixir GENTIAN. 

One-half strength oft Tincture Gentian Comp., U.S. P. 

As a stomachic and general tonic there is none better than Gentian ; 
and in this Elixir, which is one-half the strength of Tincture Gentian 
Comp., U. S. P., the aromatics are so blended as to overcome any nause- 
ating results. 

Dose. — One to four fluidrachms.

Elixir GENTIAN WITH TINCTURE IRON 
CHOLRIDE. 

Each jinidrachm contains 5 minims of Tincture Iron Chloride, U. S. P. 

In this preparation, by the addition of a small quantity of acidulated 
Citrate of Potash, the peculiarly disagreeable and styptic taste of Chloride 
of Iron .is avoided. Physicians will find in this preparation the most 
agreeable and effective mode of administering this pure bitter tonic with 
the most prized of all the salts of Iron, but hitherto often inadmissible, 
owing to the difficulty of inducing nervous and fastidious patients to 
take it on account of styptic taste, effect upon the teeth, as well as the 
occasional diarrhcea it induces, etc. This preparation may be given to 
children and delicate females with great benefit, and with but little fear 
of disagreeing with the most delicate stomach. 

The combination of Quinine with Tincture Iron Chloride is invalu- 
able in the many diseases induced by malarial influences. Medical men 
will find this Elixir a most desirable vehicle for the administration of 
that efficient nerve-tonic and antiperiodic in conjunction with this form 
of Iron, the Elixir masking the bitterness, fre.eing it from objectionable 
taste and proving less apt to disagree with patients whose ailments render 
them peculiarly sensitive to the influence of this prescription as usually 
compounded. 

Four grains of Quinine Sulphate will dissolve in one ounce of the 
Elixir, without the addition of any acid, the solution being beautifully 
clear. If a larger quantity be prescribed, the usual amount of acid per 
grain must be used. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful. For children, one-half to 
one teaspoonful. 



Elixir GLYCEROPHOSPHATES COMP. 

Each Jiuidounce contains 

Calcium Glycerophosphate 8 grains 

Sodium Glycerophosphate 16 grains 

Iron Glycerophosphate 1 IS grains 

Manganese Glycerophosphate 1 grain 

Quinine Glycerophosphate 1-2 grain 

Strychnine Glycerophosphate 1-16 grain 

While possessing all the desirable features mentioned as applying 
to the Elixir Glycerophosphates of Soda and Lime, this Elixir also 
contains the blood-forming properties of Iron and Manganese with the 
general tonic and reconstructant virtues of Quinine and Strychnine. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day, before 
meals.

Elixir GLYCEROPHOSPHATES OF SODA 
AND LIME. 

Each ftuidounce contains 

Glycerophosphate of Soda 8 grains 

Glycerophosphate of Lime k grains 

The therapeutic value of the Glycerophosphates has been clearly 
demonstrated by clinical tests conducted by the most eminent specialists 
at home and abroad, and Dr. Albert Robin and other specialists in 
diseases of the nervous system use them to the exclusion of all other 
forms of phosphorus. 

The Glycerophosphates are rapidly absorbed by the stomach and 
provide the economy with phosphorus in its most rational form — i. e. , as 
organic or physiological phosphorus— the form in which it actually exists 
in the tissues, nerves and bones. They give powerful stimulus to the 
functions of nutrition, restore enfeebled vitality, and are especially indi- 
cated in the treatment of neurasthenia, chlorosis, phosphatic albuminuria, 
cachexia, ataxia, gastric hyperasthenia, acute sciatica, etc. 

Infants and children debilitated through nervous waste or malnutri- 
tion, suffering from rachitis, marasmus, etc., may be satisfactorily treated 
with this preparation, as it exerts a decided action in preventing excessive 
metabolism and greatly stimulates the vital processes. 

Most beneficial results have followed the administration of these salts 
when given continuously for from six to twelve months to patients suffer- 
ing from the many ailments incident to advanced age, as they supply the 
waste of elementary matter in the human economy. The restoration to 
health must be gradual and aided by the general regimen and directions 
of the physician. 

In the Elixir Glycerophosphates of Soda and Lime we have combined 
only chemically pure salts of the highest standard, properly proportioned, 
in an especially prepared menstruum to hold them in perfect solution, 
thus inducing immediate absorption and complete assimilation. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two dessertspoonfuls, in water, three times a 
day, before meals. 

Descriptive literature relating to this preparation furnished upon application.

which require a general tonic — acid tonic, diuretic or laxative tonic — 
also in cases of nervous prostration, melancholia, etc. 

Dose. — For adults, two teaspoonfuls to a tablespoon ful, in a little 
water, before meals, or after meals when preferred. Children, one-half to 
one teaspoonful.

Elixir GUARANA. 

Each fluidounce represents 96 grains of Guarana 

Guarana is used with much benefit in cases of sick and nervous head- 
ache, neuralgia, diarrhoea, gastralgia, etc. 

The effect is almost immediate in all cases of headache, from what- 
ever cause it may arise ; but it is more especially beneficial in those pro- 
duced by over-excitement to the nervous system. 

The usual mode of administration has been in powder ; but the FHxir 
will be found not only more agreeable but much more efficacious. 

Dose. — For headache, one tablespoonful for an adult, to be repeated 
in an hour if the first does not give relief; for diarrhoea, one dessert- 
spoonful morning and evening ; for neuralgia, as a general tonic for 
nervousness, debility, etc., one dessertspoonful for an adult, three or four 
times a day. 

Write for a complete history of Guarana and its therapy. 

Elixir GUARANA AND CELERY. 

Each ftuidrachm represents 

Guarana :....- 9 grains 

Celery 9 grains 

The addition of Celery to that of Guarana will greatly increase the 
therapeutical effects of these remedies in all cases of sick and nervous 
headache, the Celery acting as a calmative to the nervous system when 
overworked ; also as a gastric tonic in cases of gastralgia, etc. 

Dose. — For headache, one to two teaspoonfuls for an adult, to be 
repeated in an hour if the first does not give relief; for neuralgia, as a 
general tonic for nervousness, debility, etc., one teaspoonful for an adult,

Caulophyllum Tltalictroides (Blue Cohosh) 28 grains 

Helonias Dioica (False Unicorn Root) 28 grains 

This preparation is said to be a valuable uterine tonic and anti- 
spasmodic, and in composition resembles what is known as " Mother's 
Cordial." 

Dose. — One to two fluidrachms. 

Elixir HEROIN. 

Each flui drachm contains 1-2U grain of Heroin. 

All affections of the respiratory tract, especially those of a sympto- 
matic character, are attended with more or less cough. Persistent and 
protracted, or even in moderate degree, this muscular effort increases 
the existing irritation or inflamed condition. To allay, soothe, and ulti- 
mately remove this spasm without antagonizing the effort of nature is 
the aim and solicitude of the prescriber. There is always a natural and 
apparently unavoidable recourse to the salts of Opium, and Morphine is 
the common dependence. But this, whilst it serves the primary object, 
has its most objectionable sequelae in a suddenly checked expectoration, 
a general suppression of all the secretions, and certain constitutional 
reaction. This reaction not only disturbs the nervous centres, but has to 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 15 

be carefully guarded to meet an extreme susceptibility or the idiosyn- 
crasy of toleration. Therefore, we can have no implicit dependence 
upon Opium. Codeine has been resorted to in the hope of availing of 
an accredited modified sedative action, but ample experience is recorded 
to show that this action is in its character uncertain, and in the use of 
Codeine it is difficult to approximate to a uniformity of dose suited to 
special indicatipns. 

Careful research in the utility of new remedies and scientific experi- 
ment are constantly bringing to the notice of the medical profession some 
heretofore unknown agent, which, of course, must meet the test of trial, 
but which is frequently found to possess a sought-for property adapted to 
special and important use. 

This may be truly said of the newly presented product "Heroin" 
(Diacetyl Morphine). Heroin, when given in properly guarded dose, 
appears to possess the physiological action of increasing the respiratory 
power and augmenting at the same time the muscular force of expiration. 
This property attaches great value to Heroin, because, in both the acute 
and chronic stage of pleuritic inflammation, oppression and dyspncea exist 
to a distressing extent, as also in the subsidence of acute pneumonia when 
the air-cells of the lungs are struggling, as it were, to be freed from the 
infiltrated serum, so that any agent which gives increased physical power 
in these conditions is a boon to the medical hand and to human suffer- 
ings. Superadded to this, Heroin also relieves the spasm of cough with- 
out, as before stated, interfering with the expectoration of which the 
mucous membrane of the air-passage strives to free itself, and which 
must be ejected in the progress of cure. 

The physiological action of Heroin diminishes the restriction of air- 
breathing, and when given at night it promotes sleep, with a natural and 
restful tranquility. 

This Elixir has been prepared so that each teaspoonful will contain a 
dose of Heroin, while a dessertspoonful contains the maximum dose, 
making it unnecessary to give larger and bulky doses to obtain the 
desired therapeutic effect. Bulky doses of sweet liquid preparations 
frequently derange the process of digestion, causing distress, making 
their use undesirable. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. 

Elixir HEROIN COMP. 

Each fluidounce contains 

Heroin 1-6 gram 

Ipecac 1 1-3 grain 

Chloroform 2 grains 

This preparation possesses all the desirable therapeutic properties of 
the Elixir Heroin and has, in addition, the sedative and expectorant 
properties of the chloroform and ipecac. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. 

Elixir HEROIN AND TERPIN HYDRATE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Heroin l-2kgrain 

Terpin Hydrate 1 grain 

When in the course of practice it is expedient to combine a compatible 
associate with Heroin, it will be most aptly found in the Terebin thine 
derivitive, "Terpin Hydrate." This, as an expectorant and alterative, 
affords properties which harmonize happily in effect with Heroin. It

is a modified stimulant in its action, producing no harsh irritation, but 
reaches directly the mucous surfaces and arouses the inflamed areas to a 
new regenerative action. This explains the value of the Terebinthinates 
in all ulcerative disease, or those types which take on rapidly an inflamed 
character and produce the muco-purulent discharge. It is with a view 
to afford the prescriber a most efficient meanp to combat the various 
manifestations of thoracic disease of the upper tract that we have de- 
signed a combination of these two appropriate remedies under the above 
title. 

This Elixir has been prepared so that each teaspoonful will contain 
a dose of Heroin and Terpin Hydrate, while a dessertspoonful contains 
the maximum dose, making it unnecessary to give larger and bulky doses 
to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Bulky doses of sweet liquid 
preparations frequently derange the process of digestion, causing distress 
— making their use undesirable. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. 



Elixir HYDRANGEA AND LITHIUM. 

Each fluidounce contains 

Hydrangea ZU) grains 

Lithium Benzo-Salicylate Si grains 

This Elixir embodies two of the most valuable remedial agents recog- 
nized for the treatment of urinary calculus, gout, rheumatism, diabetes 
and all diseases in which an antilithic remedy is indicated. 

Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls four times a day, between meals. 



Elixir HYDRASTIS (FORTIOR). 

Each four fluidounces represent 
Fluid Extract Hydrastis 10 fluidrachms 

Hydrastis has not been prescribed as extensively as its merits would 
warrant, principally on account of its very disagreeable, acrid and bitter 
taste. In the preparation of this Elixir great care was taken to produce 
an agreeable and palatable product. The popularity and constantly 
increasing demand for this Elixir is conclusive evidence it is meeting 
all the requirements demanded and expected of it. 

Hydrastis has been known as an indigenous remedy of considerable 
value as a tonic and reconstituent, and as a topical alterant and astrin- 
gent. Although differing on some minor points, all of the authorities 
are agreed that Hydrastis stimulates the spinal cord and increases the 
reflexes. By its effects on the vaso-motor centre it causes a great rise in 
the blood pressure, and this action is increased by its stimulating effect 
on the muscular fibre of the arterioles. In the same way it promotes the 
action of the muscular fibre of the intestine and increases peristalsis, 
and it also affects the organic muscular fibre of the uterus. 

By virtue of bitter tonic properties, hydrastis promotes appetite and 
the digestive powers. As it increases the intestinal movements by stimu- 
lating the organic muscular fibre, and as the secretions of the mucous 
membrane are also made more abundant, its effects are somewhat laxa- 
tive. Rutherford has shown that it has some cholagogue properties, 
increasing the flow of the bile and stimulating the hepatic functions. 
These properties, being retained in the Elixir, make it an ideal prepara- 
tion in the treatment of dyspepsia. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 17 

Hydrastis contains two alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. Hydras- 
tine is alone the active constituent of the drug. All of the powers and 
properties of hydrastis exist in hydrastine. To the presence of this con- 
stituent is due the actions of the drug on the nervous system of animal 
and organic life. The most important of the recent observations on the 
alkaloid is its action on the uterus, and clinically its power to restrain 
hemorrhage. The alkaloid, Hydrastine , has been shown to have special 
powers in menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, and other hemorrhages. 
Hydrastine has consequently become one of the notable remedies in 
the treatment of uterine congestion and hemorrhages, in congestive dys- 
menorrhcea. Hydrastine slows the heart and strongly contracts the 
blood-vessels, actions that explain its power in restraining hemorrhage. 
It has lately been shown, also, that this agent diminishes the irritability 
of the brain cortex, and that therapeutically it lessens seizures of a con- 
vulsive kind. Indeed, it has lately been found to have decided effects in 
epilepsy and other forms of convulsions. 

The wide range of usefulness of a palatable and active Elixir of this 
drug is very apparent to all physicians. 

Directions. — The Elixir being free from irritant qualities may be 
given before or after meals. It has indeed the properties of a stomachic 
tonic, and will promote, rather than impair, appetite and digestion. The 
dose for ordinary purposes is a dessertspoonful three times a day. In 
cases of dysmenorrhea, neuralgic or congestive, the administration 
should begin a few days before the onset of the expected period. In 
irritable states of the uterus, in threatened abortion, in menorrhagia, etc., 
it should be given frequently conjoined with rest and other suitable meas- 
ures. For the varioi 1 ^ reflex nervous affections, due to uterine irritation, 
in which it is indicated, it should be persistently administered three times 
a day. When the pains are severe or symptoms acute, the above dose, a 
dessertspoonful, may be increased to a tablespoonful at the discretion of 
the patient or advice of the attending physician. 



Elixir HYDRASTIS (FORTIOR) WITH 
NUX VOMICA 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Hydrastis Canadensis SO grains 

Tincture Nux Vomica 7 1-2 minims 

This Elixir combines the many desirable therapeutic properties of the 
Elixir Hydrastis (Fortior), described above, with the marked tonic and 
stomachic properties of the Nux Vomica, thus rendering this preparation 
peculiarly valuable in the treatment of those forms of gastric trouble 
with which are associated a relaxed condition of the muscular tissue and 
lack of gastric secretions, as it exerts a decided tonic effect upon the 
unstriated muscle and increases the quantity of the enzymes by increasing 
the gastric capillary supply and stimulating the glandular structure. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls, after meals, or as directed 
by the attending physician. 



Elixir HYPNOTIC. 

(SEE euxir chlorai, and potassium comp.) 

2 



1 8 Kindly specify "WyETh'S" when prescribing. 

Elixir IRON, ARSENIC AND MERCURY 
CHLORIDES, AROMATIC. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Proto-Chloride 1-8 grain 

Arsenic Chloride 1-280 grain 

Mercury Bichloride 1-128 grain 

With Calisaya Alkaloids 

Years of use of these chemicals, separately and combined, have placed 
them in the catalogue of standard and safe remedial agents in the treat- 
ment of such diseases as malaria, latent syphilis, anemia, cystitis, chlo- 
rosis, chronic uterine and pelvic diseases, etc. As the chlorides are 
combined in this Elixir with the alkaloidal constituents of Calisaya Bark, 
the alterative and tonic properties are all that could be desired. 

The bitter tonic properties of the Calisaya Bark prevent any tendency 
to derangement of the stomach, and the Elixir is of noted value in assist- 
ing the digestive functions and preventing constipation. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful in water three or four times a 
day, as directed by the attending physician. 

Elixir IRON CITRATE, QUININE AND 
STRYCHNINE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Citrate 2 grains 

Quinine 1 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

This preparation is so frequently used with such gratifying results 
that its value and popularity are well established. The intense bitter taste 
of the Quinine and Strychnine is here happily avoided and the Elixir will 
not be found objectionable even to the most sensitive stomach. The 
salts, being in solution, are much quicker and more uniform in action 
than when exhibited in pill form. Using pure Alkaloid Quinine and 
Strychnine, an excess of acid is not necessary, resulting in an Elixir of 
high therapeutic value and pleasant taste. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day. For children, 
one-quarter to one-half teaspoonful. 

Elixir IRON, MAGNESIA AND STRYCHNINE 
SULPHATES. 

Each fluidrachm cotitains 

Strychnine Sulphate 1-32 grain 

Iron Sulphate 2 grains 

Magnesia Sulphate 10 grains 

Acid Sulphuric a trace 

Aromatic Cordial q. s. 

This Elixir presents an ideal acid tonic, laxative and stimulant. For 
chronic sluggishness or torpidity of the liver, constipation due to inac- 
tivity of tone of the lower bowel, malarial condition of the system, a 
better remedy can hardly be found. 

It will dissolve and make a clear solution of Quinine Sulphate, thereby 
giving a valuable antiperiodic and laxative. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful in half a glass of water before 
each meal and upon retiring, or as the attending physician may direct.

Iron Phosphate 2 grains 

Quinine 1 grain 

A valuable tonic and antiperiodic, useful in all cases where a general 
debility of the system exists. 

Dose. — One to two fluidrachms. 

Elixir IRON PHOSPHATE, QUININE AND 
STRYCHNINE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Phosphate 2 grains 

Quinine 1 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

It is many years since we asked the attention of physicians to the 
above Elixir. It has been very largely prescribed with uniformly satis- 
factory results, confirming our claims for the advantages of administering 
this deservedly favorite combination in solution over pill form. Owing 
to the intensely bitter taste of the solution or the syrup, patients very 
generally object to them, and many sensitive stomachs reject their 
administration. Physicians of experience hesitate to prescribe in powder 
or mass, either Quinine or Strychnine, from the want of prompt action, 
the frequent passing away from the system, undissolved, and the occasional 
cumulative action of the Strychnine, when the pills are long retained. 
While this is a grave objection, often noted in such powerful medicinal 
agents, it is equally true that solutions of Iron are much more efficient, 
being assimilated and absorbed with little danger of inducing irritation, as 
is so often the case when given in pills. By using pure alkaloids of 
Quinine and Strychnine, the excess of acid is not required, avoiding in this 
way the development of the bitter taste, enabling us to prepare the Elixir, 
so that it will be readily taken by children as well as adults. We cannot 
exaggerate the therapeutic advantages of administering these agents 
in the form we present it, and feel we have a right to ask medical men 
to designate our manufacture of this preparation, not only because we 
first prepared it, but from the fact that physicians can feel every assurance 
. of the care and exactness ot its manufacture, and that there is one grain 
of Quinine in each teaspoonful, — a strength not prepared at the price this 
Elixir is sold by many manufacturers. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day. 

Elixir IRON PYROPHOSPHATE. 

IRON, WITH PHOSPHORUS AND CAWSAYA. 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Calisaya Bark . . . .- 5 grains 

Iron and Sodium Citro-pyrophosphate 2 grains 

This preparation is promptly tonic, without being irritating or stimu- 
lant, combining the effects of Phosphorus and Iron with the cordial and 
tonic influences of the Cinchonine Elixir. The freedom from all unpleasant 
taste, and the ease with which this preparation is borne by even the most 
sensitive stomach, together with its ready assimilation with the food, and 
consequent rapid absorption, render this combination especially valuable. 
It is used with benefit in all instances where a nerve tonic is indicated. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful before or after meals.

Elixir IRON PYROPHOS., QUIN. AND ARSENIC. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Pyrophosphate . . 2 grains 

Quinine 1 grain 

Arsenic 1-30 grain 

Many physicians object to administering the above medicine in pill 
form, and experience in the more decided action, when given in solution, 
has induced the preparation of this Elixir, which is an excellent tonic 
and antiperiodic. 

Dose. — One teaspoonful. 



Elixir IRON PYROPHOSPHATE, QUININE AND 
STRYCHNINE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Pyrophosphate 2 grains 

Quinine 1 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

The medicinal effects of this combination are the same as classified 
under the Elixir Iron Phosphate, Quinine and Strychnine, to which 
reference is called. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day, immediately 
before or after meals. 

Elixir KOLA COMP. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Kola Nuts {fresh) U8 grains 

Celery Seeds IS grains 

Coca Leaves 6k grains 

The introduction of Kola as an active cerebro-cardiac tonic and stim- 
ulant was inaugurated some years ago. In conjunction with the invigo- 
rating action of Coca and the well merited stimulating properties of 
Celery, it presents a combination which, we think, cannot fail to enlist 
the attention of the medical profession generally. This preparation is 
specifically indicated in cases of nervous prostration occasioned by over- 
excitement and fatigue of mind and body, imparting to the system under 
extreme physical exertion and strain a vigor and buoyancy that are most 
marked. Its administration will be found particularly valuable in coun- 
teracting the distressing consequences of undue indulgence in alcoholic 
stimulants, smoking or other excesses, relieving the morbid depression 
which invariably follows, promoting a healthy tone and vigor in the 
patients' condition. 

In the treatment of nervous exhaustion, melancholia and atonic dys- 
pepsia, as well as in various forms of heart disease, asthma, sea-sickness, 
etc., it will be found to afford great relief. The flattering reports which 
we have already received regarding its therapeutic action, and the re- 
markable increase of its use, are sufficient to attest its undoubted merit 
as well as to justify the claims we make. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful every two or three hours, or as may be 
required according to the condition of the patient ; in cases of extreme 
prostration, a tablespoonful may be given as the preliminary dose. 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 21 



Elixir LAXATIVE. 

This combination consists of an extract prepared from alco- 
holized Tinnevelly Senna, Podophyllin, Butternut (fuglans 
Cinerea), Rochelle Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, with Aromatics. 

The field of usefulness for a laxative of this nature is quite large, as it 
is effective in small doses, does not produce griping, is acceptable to the 
most delicate stomach, and is less apt to create irritation and congestion 
than any of the usual laxatives administered. The mild but certain 
action of this cathartic makes it especially valuable as a remedy for 
habitual constipation, as it will be found to act promptly, with a ten- 
dency to lessen the disposition to costiveness, instead of increasing it, as 
is so often the case with drastic purgatives. 

Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful at night before retiring and 
another in the morning. Children from four to twelve years of age 
should take one to two teaspoonfuls. 

Elixir LIQUORICE COMP. 

Each fcuidou nee represents 

Liquorice Root ISO grains 

Aromatics q. s. 

An agreeable and efficient vehicle for masking the bitter taste of 
Quinine, Bromides, Chloral and other disagreeable drugs and chemicals. 

Elixir LITHIATED STRONTIUM. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Strontium Salicylate 2 grains 

Strontium Iodide 1 grain 

Lithium Salicylate 2 grains 

The above formula will at once commend itself to the busy practitioner 
for the treatment of subacute and chronic rheumatism, rheumatic gout, 
etc. The combination is one suggested by an authority of the highest 
standing, and has in his practice, as well as with many others, been found 
of extraordinary efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic rheuma- 
tism, gout, swelling of the glands and joints, and all the inflammatory 
conditions due to gastric impoverishment, debility and exhaustion of the 
nerve centres. 

Dose. — For an adult, as a preventive to attacks of rheumatism, gout, 
etc. , one teaspoonful morning and evening ; for regular treatment, while 
affected with rheumatism, gout or kindred diseases, one teaspoonful four 
times a day. For the treatment of patients suffering from inflammatory 
rheumatism or sciatica, two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day, as 
advised by the attending physician. 

Elixir MALT AND PEPSIN COMP. 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Malted Barley Grain 10 grains 

Soluble Pepsin {high test) 1 grain 

The decided amylolytic and proteolytic actions of this Elixir strongly 
indicate its employment in the treatment of the varied types of gastric 
and intestinal indigestion. It is especially valuable where there is lack 
of proper salivary digestion, thus interfering with starch conversion. 



22 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 

Elixir Malt and Pepsin Comp. not only acts upon the ingested food, con- 
verting it into soluble and assimilable forms, but also stimulates a flow of 
the normal gastric enzymes. The value of this Elixir is apparent, as an 
aid to digestion, in the various infectious fevers and convalescence from 
any wasting disease. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful before each meal. For a child, 
fifteen to thirty drops. 



Elixir MANACA AND SALICYLATES. 

Each jiuidounce contains 

Manaca 80 grains 

Sodium Salicylate 64 grains 

Potassium Salicylate 32 grains 

Lithium Salicylate 8 grains 

This combination is especially valuable in the treatment of rheuma- 
tism, gout, lumbago and other pains of the muscles. It is a powerful 
solvent of uric acid ; thus it is admirably adapted to cases of gout, in 
which the strongest indication is to prevent the formation of insoluble 
salts of. uric acid and their deposition in the kidneys, bladder or joints, 
and to favor the solution of such salts when already formed and deposited 
in the joints and ligamentous tissue of gouty patients. The decided 
antiseptic and antipyretic properties of the salicylates render them very 
effective in the treatment of rheumatic seizures, as there will ensue a 
reduction of the fever, elimination of the causative factor, at which time 
there will be a corresponding relief from pain. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls. 



Elixir NUX VOMICA AND IGNATIA COMP. 

Ten minims of the Elixir contain 

Tinct. Nux Vomica 1 minim 

Tinct. Ignatia Amara 1 minim 

Tinct. Cinchona U minims 

Tinct. Matricaria 1 minim 

Tinct. Gentian 1-3 minim 

Tinct. Calumba 1-2 minim 

Tinct. Phosphorus, C.P. ............. 1-300 grain 

Aromatics 3 minims 

All the drugs in this Elixir bear a close relation to each other, being 
stimulating nerve tonics and bitter tonics. These, in combination with 
the free phosphorus present, make an ideal remedy in the treatment of 
such diseases as sick and nervous headaches, vertigo, general debility,

Elixir PEPSIN AND THYMOL COMP. 

EUXIR ANTI-DYSPEPTIC. 

Each dessertspoonful contains 

Pepsin ' 1 grain 

Pancreatin $ grains 

Cascara Sagrada 1 grain 

Ipecac 1-5 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

Antiseptic Solution SO minims 

This preparation, the formula of which was suggested to us by an 
eminent specialist, has proved, after an extended, exhaustive and varied 
experience, to be of such merit and value in the treatment of the various 
forms of dyspepsia and other gastric troubles, that we feel warranted in 
bringing it more prominently to the attention of the medical profession 
at large, feeling confident our representations will be more than con- 
firmed in their hands. 

It will be found peculiarly efficacious in those derangements attended 
with flatulence, acid fermentation, eructation superinduced by eating 
rich food, pastry, starchy vegetables, excess in drinking spirituous 
liquors, and excessive smoking. It will prove equally valuable in almost 
every condition of weak and impaired or imperfect digestive powers, 
either due to catarrh of the mucous coat of the stomach or in those 
symptoms characterized by sensations of distress and uneasiness during 
digestion, usually termed nervous dyspepsia. 

Dose. — For an adult one to two dessertspoonfuls after each meal or 
when feeling oppressed, much depending upon the severity or frequency 
of the attacks. 

Elixir PERUVIAN BARK AND IRON. 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Peruvian Bark 5 grains 

Iron Pyrophosphate 2 grains 

Aromaiics a. s. 

This preparation is sometimes called Elixir of the Pyrophosphate of 
Iron, and is one of the most efficient nerve tonics, combining the effects 
of Phosphorus and Iron with the cordial and tonic influences of the 
Cinchona Elixir. Without being irritating or stimulant, it excites the 
appetite, strengthens the nerve power, and neutralizes the tendency to 
malarial influences. The freedom from all unpleasant taste, and the ease 
with which this preparation is borne by even the most sensitive stomachs, 
together with its ready assimilation with the food, and consequent rapid 
absorption, render this combination especially valuable. It is used with 
benefit in all instances where a nerve tonic is indicated, after typhoid and 
malarial fevers, and is especially useful in the debility and weakness of 
females and children. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful before or after each meal. For 
children, one-half teaspoonful as often. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth'S" when prescribing. 27 

Elixir of the PHOSPHATES AND CALISAYA. 

Each tablespoonful contains 

Peruvian Bark 7 M grains 

Iron Phosphate 1 grain 

Lime Phosphate 2 grains 

Sodium Phosphate 1-2 grain 

With a slight excess of Acid Phosphoric. 

This elegant preparation has the great advantage of combining the 
general tonic properties of Peruvian Bark (a medicine which has perhaps 
stood the test of time more satisfactorily than any other) with the special vir- 
tues of the Phosphates of Lime, Iron and Sodium. These latter remedies 
address themselves more efficiently to the stimulation and strengthening 
of the nervous system, which invariably suffers in conditions of debility. 
Not only theoretically, but experimentally, the Phosphates are found to 
be assimilated and to supply to the brain and spinal cords elements 
which are needed for the due performances of their functions, and the 
want of which is made manifest by many of the symptoms of wasting 
diseases. They are here combined with the Calisaya in a form which 
admits of their administration for any desired length of time, without 
offending the stomach, a quality which gives this preparation great value 
in many instances of defective nutrition. 

Dose. — For adults, one tablespoonful, in water, immediately after 
eating. For children, one to two teaspoonfuls. 

Elixir PHOSPHORUS (Free). 

Each fluidrachm contains 1-100 grain of Free Phosphorus. 

This Elixir is absolutely reliable, non-irritating and pleasant to the 
taste. Each teaspoonful contains one one-hundredth grain of free Phos- 
phorus, held in perfect solution, and of assured stability. This article has 
been used for many years by some of the leading physicians of Philadel- 
phia, and their results have been of the most satisfactory character. It 
may be given in combination with other preparations, as, for example, 
with our Elixir Iron, Quinine and Strychnine, with the Tincture of 
Nux Vomica, etc. 

It would be superfluous for us to enlarge here upon the remedial value 
of Phosphorus in cases of nervous exhaustion or impaired nutrition of 
the brain from whatever cause ; in hysteria, neuralgia, atonic dyspepsia, 
chorea, bronchocele, etc., as well as in many forms of syphilitic and 
other cutaneous disorders. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, gradually increased to two 
teaspoonfuls, three times a day, plain or with sugar. 

Elixir POPPY AROMATIC. 

Each fluidounce is equal in anodyne effect to one grain Morphine. 

This Elixir is a pleasant, aromatic, slightly stimulating narcotic and 
anodyne mixture. It allays irritation or pain, produces sleep and quickly 
checks excessive secretions. It is strongly indicated in teething of infants, 
gastritis, gastro- enteritis of children and adults, and in any condition 
requiring an agreeable sedative. 

Dose. — For an adult, one-half to one teaspoonful, as the indications 
warrant ; for children and infants the dose should be reduced proportion- 
ately to their age, strength and condition. 



28 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 

Elixir POTASSIUM BROMIDE. 

Each jffuidrachm contains 10 grains Potassium Bromide. 

This Elixir is an agreeable and elegant form of administering this 
highly-prized alterative and nerve sedative. The objectionable saline 
taste is completely masked, and the Bromide will be found less apt to 
produce nausea and derangement of the digestive organs. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. 



Elixir QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Quinine 1 grain 

Strychnine 1-60 grain 

In cases where the use of Iron is contraindicated this Elixir, as a 
tonic in cases of general debility, will be found invaluable. 
Dose. — One teaspoonful three times a day. 



Elixir RED GUM COMP. 

3JUXIR EUCALYPTUS ROSTRATA COMP. 

Each fluidounce contains 

Red Gum 15 grains 

Witch Hazel 71-2 grains 

Guarana 5 grains 

Cinnamon 5 grains 

Opium 1 grain 

In cofnbination with Aromatic Antiseptic Oils. 

This preparation, which is very agreeable to the taste, has attracted 
the favorable attention of the medical profession on account of its 
marked efficiency in the therapy of intestinal catarrhs, chronic diarrhoea, 
dysenteric conditions, choleriform diarrhoeas (with marked tenesmus and 
watery stools), the microbic diarrhoea of infancy, fermentative diarrhoeas 
of all ages, the functional intestinal and gastro-intestinal disorders inci- 
dent to over-indulgence, during the summer months, in iced drinks, 
fruits, etc. 

As will be noted, the formula consists of a rational combination of 
carefully selected drugs with astringent, antiseptic, anodyne, tonic and 
carminative properties, synergists to the basic constituent Red Gum. 

Red Gum, which constitutes the basis of this preparation, is the exu- 
dation from the bark of the Eucalyptus Rostrata, a variety of Eucalyptus 
growing chiefly in Australia and Southern California. 

The medicinal virtues of this tree are said on good authority to excel 
those of other forms of Eucalyptus ; and the gum that exudes from its 
bark would seem a priori to be richer in astringent and antiseptic prop- 
erties than the oils distilled from eucalyptus leaves, on which, hitherto, 
medical men have been obliged to place reliance. That such is the case 
was asserted by Sir Ronald Martin, who originally introduced Red Gum 
into European practice, and his views have since been amply supported 
by experience. Red Gum, in fact, has been shown to possess the most 
valuable antiseptic, astringent and styptic virtues, combined with a taste 
by no means disagreeable, and free from the acerbity of Kino, Krameria, 
and other vegetable astringents. 



Kindly specify " WyeTh'S " when prescribing. 29 

Eucalyptus, or Red Gum, is a powerful astringent, antiperiodic, anti- 
septic and germicide. In therapeutics, these properties give it a wide 
range of utility. It is, without doubt, the most valuable vegetable astrin- 
gent yet discovered. 

Witch Hazel, which is well known for its anodyne and healing prop- 
erties, also for its tonic action on the blood vessels, and its haemostatic 
efficacy, is contained in this preparation ; its efficiency in checking 
hemorrhage depending on its action in contracting the arteries, and thus 
lessening the flow of blood through them. Opium, which is also incor- 
porated, but in minute quantities, has a similar and more powerful action 
on the muscular mechanism, governing hemorrhages from the intestines, 
in which cases Witch Hazel is often used. The union of these two drugs 
constitutes, therefore, an efficient haemostatic and astringent anodyne. 

Guarana and Cinnamon are both employed in this preparation, Cin- 
namon for the sake of the pronounced antiseptic tonic and carminative ef- 
fects and agreeable taste. Guarana, which is a drug of more importance, 
as it contains tannic acid in greater proportion, is serviceable in com- 
pleting the astringent action of a combination of remedies intended to 
overcome morbid conditions of the gastro-intestinal canal. Guarana, 
besides, is a cardiac stimulant and nerve tonic. It contains an active 
principle identical with Caffeine, with practically the same action on the 
heart, circulation and nervous system. On the intestines, Guarana has 
been found to exert effects similar to those of Krameria, but is preferable, 
owing to its bitter properties ; it controls a tendency to headache. 

The anodyne effect of this preparation is due to the proportion of 
Opium it contains, a proportion not sufficient to exercise a narcotic 
action, but sufficient to act in an analgesic manner. In small doses and 
suitably prescribed, opium conduces to bodily and mental activity by 
stimulating the appetite and digestion in certain cases of dyspepsia and 
by increasing peristaltic action. The amount contained in this Elixir is 
calculated to have a purely anodyne effect. 

The value of the antiseptic oils incorporated in this preparation can- 
not be too highly lauded ; they are the same as employed in our well- 
known Solution Thymol Comp. (Antiseptic Solution), and are extremely 
valuable as intestinal antiseptics and anti-ferments. 

Directions. — To counteract the harmful effect of climatic or dietetic 
changes this Elixir will be found especially beneficial, and can be ad- 
ministered to an adult in doses ranging from one teaspoonful to a table- 
spoonful every two or three hours until relief is obtained, or in such 
quantities and at such intervals as the attending physician may direct. 
The same quantities and frequency of administration should be employed 
in combating or preventing the attacks of temporary (or as it is fre- 
quently called) summer diarrhoea, chronic diarrhoea, dysenteric condi- 
tions, etc. 

Elixir RHUBARB AND MAGNESIUM. 

Each fluidrachni represents W grains Comp. Powder of Rhubarb, U. S. P. 

A mild laxative and antacid, useful in diseases of the stomach and 
bowels, especially for children. 

Many physicians use this Elixir as an antacid or corrective in combi- 
nation or alternating with Pepsin, Bismuth Subnitrate, etc. By a care- 
fully proportionating of these prescriptions, many severe, chronic or 
incipient attacks of dyspepsia, diarrhoea due to fermentative dyspepsia, 
or constipation due to improper assimilation of food or weak digestion, 
have been successfully treated. 

Dose. — One or two fluidrachms. 



30 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

Elixir SALICYLIC ACID COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Acid Salicylic 5 grains 

Black Cohosh % grains 

Yellow Jasmine 2 grains 

Potassiu m Iodide 1-2 grain 

Putrefactive processes in the gastrointestinal tract are effectually 
inhibited by the decided antiseptic property of this preparation. Thus 
the formation of the amido-acid group and ptomaine products is greatly 
restricted. It is a powerful antipyretic, reducing temperature and pro- 
ducing profuse sweating, and also increases general protoplasmic chem- 
ical activities. It stimulates the glandular structures, thereby increasing 
the absorption of deposits and inflammatory exudate. This Elixir is a 
valuable general tonic and alterative, aiding the system in eliminating 
the poisonous products present in gout, rheumatism and lumbago; 
further, it lessens the danger of cardiac and cerebral complications during 
a rheumatic attack. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful four times a day. 



Elixir SAW PALMETTO COMP. 

(diuretic, tonic and stimulant.) 

This Elixir combines in a pleasant and efficient form the active 
constituents of Saw Palmetto, Sandalwood, Damiana, Potas- 
sium Acetate, Coca Leaves, Nux Vomica, Kola Nut. 

It is a very powerful diuretic tonic and stimulant, and is very useful 
in general debility, impotency, spermatorrhoea, loss of nerve power, 
headache, neuralgia, paralysis, dysmenorrhcea, etc. 

In exploiting this combination we are prepared to substantiate the 
claims regarding its reputed properties. We are willing to endorse its 
efficiency in the treatment of prostatic troubles ; having received so many 
reports regarding its favorable action in cases of sexual atony, -we feel 
warranted in bringing to the notice of the profession a preparation which 
we believe to be worthy of extended trial. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each 
meal, and again upon retiring. 

Elixir SAW PALMETTO, CORN SILK AND 
SANDALWOOD. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Saw Palmetto ISO grains 

Corn Silk ISO grains 

Sandalwood SO grains 

In this Elixir are embodied three ingredients, which are especially 
useful in the treatment of the various diseases, weaknesses and inflam- 
mation of the bladder, urethra, etc. The physicians who have reported 
on its properties and uses are quite unanimous in regard to the influence 
exerted by it on the genito-urinary apparatus. The local effects of the 
Saw Palmetto on the mucous membrane are utilized in the treatment ot 
catarrhal affections, such as pyelitis and cystitis. When gravel or cal- 
culi have set up a catarrh by reason of an irritant action which they 
exert on the mucous membrane, or when by extension of the morbid 
condition from the urethra, a specific inflammation is caused, the best 
results may be expected from the administration of this remedy. 



Kindly specify " Wyeth'S " when prescribing. 31 

Corn Silk, for very many years, has been held in great favor as a home 
remedy, and is largely used, with marked success, as a diuretic in cardiac 
and renal dropsy, in cases of uric and phosphatic gravel, vesical catarrh, 
acute and chronic cystitis, as well as in dropsical affections and as a mild 
stimulating diuretic. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each meal 
and again upon retiring. 



Elixir SAW PALMETTO AND PICHI COMP. 

A pleasant and very efficient combination of Saw Palmetto, San- 
dalwood, Damaina, Potassium Acetate, Coca Leaves, Nux 
Vomica, Kola Nut and Pichi. 

This Elixir contains all the ingredients and has the same therapeutic 
effect as Elixir Saw Palmetto Comp., mentioned on preceding page. It 
is fortified and enhanced in value by the addition of Fluid Extract of 
Pichi. This is extensively employed in the treatment of vesical catarrh, 
acute or chronic, following a mechanical cause, such as gravel or calculus, 
by quickly modifying the urinary secretions, calming the irritability and 
favoring the expulsion of gravel and calculi through the urethra. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each 
meal, and again upon retiring. 



Elixir SAW PALMETTO AND SANDAL COMP. 

Each Jluidounce represents 

Saw Palmetto 120 grains 

Sandalwood 2k grains 

Many physicians prefer the simpler combination of this Elixir, 
claiming they can note and control with less trouble the various stages 
of the diseases for which these remedies are used when unaccompanied 
by the more pronounced diuretics and stimulants. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each 
meal, and again upon retiring. 



Elixir SEDATIVE COMP. 

(SEE EUXIR CHLORAL COMP.) 

Elixir SODIUM BROMIDE 

Each fluidrachm contains 10 grains of Sodium Bromide. 

The constant use of Sodium Bromide in hospital and private practice 
has proved it, in its therapeutical effects, to be free from many objections 
urged against Potassium Bromide. It is more agreeable to the taste, 
less apt to excite nausea and derangement of the stomach, and, being 
more readily absorbed into the system, acts more promptly than either 
the Potassium or Ammonium Bromide. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls. 



32 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

Elixir SODIUM SALICYLATE COMP. 

Each fluidrachtn contains 

Acid Salicylic 3 1-2 giain 

Black Cohosh 1 grain 

Yellow Jasmine 1 grain 

Potassium Iodide 1 grain 

Sodium Bicarbonate q. s. 

This combination has been suggested for the purpose of presenting a 
permanent and compatible mixture of such remedies as would naturally 
be presented to the mind of the prescriber diagnosing conditions of 
rheumatism, gout, lumbago and other pains of the muscles. It does 
not supersede the extemporaneous prescription in such cases, but consti- 
tutes a useful adjunct, especially when there is an accompaniment of 
febrile excitement. Its use would seem to be well indicated in the direc- 
tion of tonic and alterative properties, and for the purpose of relieving 
those dull, vague, fugitive aches, which are as much the precursors of a 
rheumatic attack as they are the sequences. Many patients who do not 
require an active treatment describe such symptoms to a medical adviser. 
Anodynes and depressants are inadmissible in such cases ; but if a specific 
tonic action can be successfully maintained, relief and cure seem reason- 
ably assured. The action of the Sodium Bicarbonate, or the saturating 
salt, modifies the sharpness and asperity of the acid and promotes an easy 
toleration of that remedy. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls three times a day, or as directed by 
the attending physician. 



Elixir STILLINGIA COMP. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Stillingia 30 grains 

Turkey Corn 30 grains 

Blue Flag 15 grains 

Yellow Dock 15 grains 

Coriander 7 1-2 grains 

Prickly-Ash Berries 7 1-2 grains 

This combination is a purely vegetable alterative, tonic and laxative, 
and may be used in cases of rheumatism and scrofula and as an anti- 
scorbutic in skin diseases. 

Dose. — One or two fluidrachms. 



Elixir STRONTIUM SALICYLATE COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Strontium Salicylate 2 grains 

Strontium Iodide 1 grain 

Wine of Colchicum 5 minims 

Tincture Gelsemium 2 minims 

The above formula will at once commend itself to the busy practi- 
tioner. The combination is one suggested by an authority of the highest 
standing, and has in his practice, as well as with many others, been found 
of extraordinary efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic rheuma- 
tism, gout, swelling of the glands and joints, and all the inflammatory

conditions due to gastric impoverishment, debility and exhaustion of the 
nerve centres. 

Dose. — For an adult, as a preventive to attacks of rheumatism, gout, 
etc., one teaspoonful morning and evening; for regular treatment, 
while affected with rheumatism, gout or kindred diseases, one teaspoon- 
ful four times a day. For the treatment of patients suffering from in- 
flammatory rheumatism or sciatica, two teaspoonfuls three or four times 
a day, as advised by the attending physician. 

Elixir TARAXACUM COMP. 

Each ftuidounce represents 

Taraxacum (fresh root) 30 grains 

Wild Cherry Bark 15 grains 

Gentian Root 10 grains 

Aromatics 5 grains 

This preparation combines, in an agreeable Elixir, the peculiar and 
valuable effects of Dandelion (prepared from the fresh root, collected at 
the proper season) together with Wild Cherry and Gentian. It will be 
found a valuable vehicle for disguising the bitter taste of Quinine ; and, 
in sections of the country subject to influences of malaria, the conjoint 
action upon the liver will make it a specially useful menstruum. — From 
Proceedings of the American Pharmaceutical Association. 

Dose. — One dessertspoonful. 

Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE. 

(EXPECTORANT) 
Each fluidrachm contains 1 grain of Terpin Hydrate. 

The value of Terpin Hydrate as a therapeutic agent has been more 
than confirmed by the experience of those who have given it an extended 
trial, and this preparation will be found most acceptable in the treatment 
of bronchitis, bronchial catarrh, chronic cough and like affections of the 
throat and of the organs of respiration. 

Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful four or five times daily. 

Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Terpin Hydrate 1 grain 

Codeine Sulphate 1-8 grain 

Refined Oil Tar 2 minims 

Tincture Lobelia 1 minim 

Tincture Gelsemium 1 minim 

We desire to call attention to this compound of medicines, which has 
been devised as a palliative and cough cure. Before its final adoption 
we had its positive usefulness demonstrated in very numerous trials, the 
results of which were so uniformly convincing that we deem it worthy a 
permanent place in the catalogue of prescriptions, and submit it, there- 
fore, with confidence to the approval of the medical profession and to 
the trade. It frequently happens in suggesting remedies that by a judi- 
cious combination, availing of some essential and peculiar property of 
each ingredient, we can accomplish a curative result in the application 
of medicines that cannot be obtained by the use, singly and alone, of the 
components. This is confirmed abundantly by observation and the prac- 
tice of physicians ; hence it is quite unusual to meet with a one-item

prescription. In considering this, it is possible that a certain property 
of one medicine may be needed to assist the operation of another, and a 
joint or combined effect accomplish exactly what may be desired. 

Terpin Hydrate is recognized as an expectorant and alterative, as also 
a modified stimulant in its action, producing no harsh irritation whatever, 
but reaches directly the mucous surfaces and arouses the inflamed areas 
to a new regenerative action. The innocuous or milder sedative proper- 
ties of Codeine are appreciated ; Tar is a diffusive tonic and alterative ; 
Lobelia actively promotes expectoration, and Gelsemium lends its aid to 
a control of spasmodic recurrence through its property as a nervine. So 
that, viewed as a rational compound, the Elixir Terpin Hydrate Comp. 
may be said to present some unusual features, and to possess an adapta- 
bility to recent and chronic cough. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two or 
three hours. It is more effective when taken without water or other 
dilution. 

Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE AND CHERRY COMP. 

Each fluidrachm represents 

Wild Cherry Bark 3 grains 

White Pine 2 grains 

Blood Root 1-2 grain 

Terpin Hydrate 1-2 grain 

Codeine Sulphate 1-8 grain 

The value of this combination for chronic or recent coughs, bronchial 
irritations, and the annoying tickling-throat cough will at once be appre- 
ciated. This preparation is of pronounced value, and when prescribed 
both for adults and children will produce excellent results, the quantities 
of each ingredient being so regulated that its full therapeutic effect is 
brought into use. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuk three or four times a 
day, or as the attending physician may direct. 

Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE WITH CODEINE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Terpin Hydrate 1 grain 

Codeine Sulphate IS grain 

This combination, embracing the expectorant and calmative properties 
of these valuable remedies, will, we think, prove most acceptable in the 
treatment of bronchitis, chronic cough, bronchial catarrh, and like 
affections of the throat and lungs. 

The experience of those who have already used this Elixir has proved 
it to be eminently successful in allaying the distressing cough following 
influenza and other bronchial affections, without disturbing the stomach 
by creating nausea and loss of appetite ; nor does it arrest the secretions, 
cause constipation, headache or other derangements. 

Codeine is acceptable and borne without any of the distressing effects 
of Morphine, and although its sedative and anodyne properties are 
milder it is to be preferred, since its continuance is always effective in 
small doses and it does not lead to any habitual demand or desire. 

This Elixir is used by many physicians in combination with Ammo- 
nium Muriate, Potassium Chlorate, Tincture Ferri Chloride, etc. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful four or five times daily.

Tonga SO grains 

Black Cohosh # grains 

Sodium Salicylate (from Oil Wintergreen) 10 grains 

Pilocarpine Salicylate 1-100 grain 

Colchicin Salicylate 1-500 grain 

This Elixir is a combination of such drugs and chemicals which are 
particularly indicated in the treatment of rheumatic gout, sciatica, lum- 
bago and neuralgia. As the formula indicates, the Elixir is a very strong 
preparation, and will not only relieve the pain and inflammation of an 
attack of rheumatism, but its persistent and regular use will eventually 
entirely remove the disease. By resorting to the prompt use of this 
Elixir upon the first indications of an attack of rheumatism, it may fre- 
quently be prevented. 

Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful diluted with water, three times a 
day, before meals. 

Elixir UNICORN COMP. 

Each ftuidounce represents 

Unicorn Root (Aletris Farinosa) 30 grains 

Cramp Bark (Viburnum Opulus) SO grains

Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum Thalictroides) ..... . 15 grains 

false Unico~n (Helonias Dioica) 15 grains 

Aromaiics . q. s. 

A perusal of the above formula will show at once that this Elixir is 
a highly concentrated and active uterine tonic and restorative. It will 
be found to be particularly efficacious in the treatment of such diseases 
as dysmenorrhcea, leucorrhcea, prolapsus uteri and amenorrhoea, and as 
a preventive of miscarriage, etc. 

Where abortion has occurred during previous pregnancies, or when 
abortion is threatened, the Elixir should be continuously administered 
during the entire gestation. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. 

Elixir VIBURNUM AND HYDRASTIS COMP. 

(UTERINE TONIC, SEDATIVE) 
Each ftuidounce contains 

Viburnum Opulus (Cramp Bark) UO grains 

Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) 30 grains 

Piscidia Erythrina (Jamaica Dogwood) 20 grains 

Anemone Pulsatilla (Pulsatilla) 10 grains 

The above combination cannot but at once appeal to the intelligent 
practitioner as almost a specific in the treatment of the various kinds of 
pain incident to the diseases of the female sexual organs, so varied in 
their character and such a drain upon the general health and strength. 

Cramp Bark, or Viburnum Opulus, as it is officially designated, is an 
indigenous plant, long and favorably known to American physicians as 
perhaps the best remedy for certain kinds of pain, particularly the pains 
of parturient women and dysmenorrhcea. As its use is entirely free 
from danger, and as it is as efficient in suitable cases as the most powerful 
anodynes, it is preferable in an elixir of this kind, which is a household 
remedy, and to be serviceable as such must be both effective and safe. 

The twofold astringent and nervine power of Viburnum renders it 
very useful in the colic of pregnant women accompanied with diarrhoea. 



36 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" whe?i prescribing. 

Dr. Joseph, an Austrian physician, to whom we are indebted for an 
admirable paper on the use of Viburnum, prefers it to all other remedies 
in the dysmenorrhcea of young girls, where there is some mechanical 
difficulty, such as anteflexion. In pain due to other causes, but some- 
times mistaken for dysmenorrhea, in the pain that many women who 
have previously aborted suffer from during pregnancy, Viburnum is a 
most valuable remedy. 

But valuable as Viburnum is in the treatment of the various kinds of 
pain, incident to the diseases of the female sexual organs, its chief use 
and claim to the confidence of physicians is its power of arresting abor- 
tion, where threatened, and of preventing it where habitual. Where 
there is this tendency to miscarry, Viburnum is the most efficient remedy 
that we possess. In other cases, where abortion has not proceeded so far 
as death of the fcetus and detachment of the ovum, Viburnum is gene- 
rally found to retain the child until full term. It fails in cases only 
where given in too small doses. It is an excellent remedy in colic, 
cramps, spasms, palpitation and other affections incident to pregnancy 
or arising from uterine disorder, and for after-pains. But it is particu- 
larly valuable in preventing abortion and miscarriage, whether habitual 
or otherwise. It is therefore a " uterine sedative. " It is serviceable in 
all uterine disorders characterized by loss of blood. In menorrhagia or 
metrorrhagia depending wholly upon systemic causes, phthisis, organic 
diseases of the heart, hepatic disorders, anaemia or malarial diseases, it is 
peculiarly applicable. There is no depressing effect succeeding its ad- 
ministration ; on the contrary, it is a grateful tonic, seeming to stimulate 
rather than depress. It has a powerful influence in preventing threat- 
ened abortion. In habitual abortion, when caused by irritability of the 
uterus or by states of congestion taking place at the usual epoch of 
menstruation, Viburnum may be given as often as it may seem necessary. 
With this medicament, even if it be employed for months together, no 
accident is to be apprehended. 

In this preparation of Viburnum, now submitted to the profession, 
the unquestionable utility of this agent is greatly enhanced by the 
addition of remedies possessed of analogous powers. Not only is the 
value of Viburnum thus promoted in the special field of its therapeutical 
activities, but a more extended range of powers is thereby secured. In 
other words, our new preparation possesses all of the virtues of Vibur- 
num, and in addition all of the therapeutical properties of Hydrastis, 
Pulsatilla and Piscidia. 

Hydrastis has been known as an indigenous remedy of considerable 
value, as a tonic and reconstituent, and as a topical alterant and astrin- 
gent. All of the authorities are agreed that Hydrastis stimulates the 
spinal cord and increases the reflexes. By its effects on the vaso-motor 
centre it causes a great rise in the blood pressure, and this action is in- 
creased by its stimulating effect on the muscular fibre of the arterioles. 
In the same way it promotes the action of the muscular fibre of the 
uterus. 

By virtue of bitter tonic properties, Hydrastis promotes appetite and 
the digestive powers. As it increases the intestinal movements, by stim- 
ulating the organic muscular fibre, and as the secretions of the mucous 
membrane are also made more abundant, its effects are somewhat laxative. 

Hydrastis contains two alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. All of 
the powers and properties of hydrastis exist in hydrastine. To the pres- 
ence of this constituent is due the actions of the drug on the nervous 
system of animal and organic life. The most important of the recent 
observations on th6 alkaloid is its action on the uterus, and clinically its 
power to restrain hemorrhage. The artificial alkaloid, Hydrastine, has 
been shown to have special powers in menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, 



Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. 37 

and other hemorrhages. Hydrastine has consequently become one of 
the notable remedies in the treatment of uterine congestion and hemor- 
rhages in congestive dysmenorrhcea. Hydrastine slows the heart and 
strongly contracts the blood vessels, actions that explain its power in 
restraining hemorrhage. Hydrastis confers new powers on the combina- 
tion in the treatment of the various reflex neuroses arising from uterine 
maladies. 

Pulsatilla, the next ingredient in the compound to be considered, has 
long been a favorite remedy of homoeopathic physicians in the treatment 
of dysmenorrhoea of congestive character, of suppressed menses from ex- 
posure to cold, and other causes of similar character. Like Viburnum, 
it is used to relieve irritable states of the uterus, to remove uterine and 
ovarian irritation and to stop the reflex disturbances, vascular and nerv- 
ous, arising therefrom. In recent times, the utility of Pulsatilla has been 
recognized and applied by all classes of practitioners who have learned 
to appreciate its value. 

Therapeutically, Pulsatilla is useful in congestive headache, in sym- 
pathetic neuroses, even the convulsive, in the nervous and hysterical 
disturbances connected with dysmenorrhcea, in "nervous exhaustion" 
from overwork, etc. It has been found especially useful in scanty and 
delayed menstruation, in dysmenorrhcea, in catarrhal affections of the 
uterine system, in congestion of the uterus, in various reflex disorders 
due to this state. It will be seen from the foregoing, that Pulsatilla is 
well fitted to supplement the actions and uses of the other ingredients 
of this combination of remedies. 

Piscidia Erythrina, or Jamaica Dogwood, has only recently been in- 
troduced into medical practice. An examination of its properties will 
demonstrate how admirably it is fitted to contribute to the therapeutical 
effects of the other members of the combination. It has sedative and 
anodyne actions, by virtue of an impression on the sensory nervous 
system. It has, also, in a more direct manner, the properties of an hyp- 
notic, so that it comes to supplement in a most satisfactory manner the 
other components of this preparation. 

It is a moderator of reflex actions, and reduces the pulse rate, but 
raises arterial tension by stimulating the vaso-motor centre in the me- 
dulla. It has proved useful in dysmenorrhcea, in ovarian and uterine 
neuralgia, in sciatica, and in muscular rheumatism. It is especially indi- 
cated in the insomnia and the reflex neuroses arising in course of ovarian 
and uterine disorders, and may be expected to prove of signal service in 
the melancholia of the puerperal state. 

Directions. — The Elixir, being free from irritant qualities, may be 
given before or after meals. It has, indeed, the properties of a stomachic 
tonic, and will promote, rather than impair, appetite and digestion. The 
dose for ordinary purposes is a dessertspoonful three times a day. When 
the symptoms are acute, or pain is present, it may be taken every three 
or four hours. In cases of dysmenorrhcea, neuralgic or congestive, the 
administration should begin a few days before the onset of the expected 
period. In irritable states of the uterus, in threatened abortion, in 
menorrhagia, etc., it should be given frequently conjoined with rest and 
other suitable measures. For the various reflex nervous affections due 
to uterine irritation, in which it is indicated, it should be persistently 
administered three times a day. When the pains are severe or symp- 
toms acute the above dose, a dessertspoonful, may be increased to a 
tablespoonful at the discretion of the patient or the advice of the attending 
physician. The happiest effects from this combination will be received 
if administered regularly for three or four days previous to the regular 
period.

Elixir WAHOO (Bark of Root). 

Each fluidounce contains 160 grains of the Bark of the Root 

In the above preparation we present to the medical profession an article 
which will supply a want long felt — viz., that of a mild, safe, agreeable 
and certain cathartic. The exhaustive experiments under the auspices 
of the British Medical Association, by Rutherford, have brought this 
article prominently before the regular profession as a remedy of great 
value, standing almost in the first position among the cholagogues exam- 
ined. Dr. W. M. Collins, of London, writes of it in the Lancet as 
' ' particularly serviceable in cases of hepatic dyspepsia, or what are com- 
monly called attacks of 'biliousness,' with furred tongue, pale stools, 
lassitude and general malaise." Dr. J. R. Black, of Ohio, to whom we 
are much indebted for his contribution on the therapeutical use of Wahoo, 
in summing up, says, "In Euonymus we have an invaluable gastric 
tonic, mild cholagogue, pleasant laxative or cathartic, according to dose." 
BarTholow confirms the opinions of the above, and pronounces it a 
cholagogue of specific power. We manufacture largely the Fluid Extract, 
from which we prepare the Elixir, and recommend the latter in prefer- 
ence, as we are able to mask its bitterness thoroughly. The Elixir of 
Wahoo, as prepared by us, will be found an admirable gastric tonic, as 
well as a mild cholagogue-cathartic, acting, usually, within a few hours 
of its administration. It has also some diuretic and antiperiodic prop- 
erties. It does not cause griping, and may be given for some time with- 
out increase of dose. 

Dose. — The dose, as a cathartic, is a tablespoonful on going to bed, to 
be repeated in the morning before breakfast. For habitual constipation, 
a dessertspoonful, repeated several mornings and evenings, will prove 
sufficient. These directions may require to be modified by the physician, 
according to the susceptibility of the patient. 

Those physicians to whom the subject of Wahoo is of special interest are requested to 
write for more complete literature.

Each flaidrachm contains 

Codeine Phosphate 1-6 grain 

Terpin Hydrate 1 grain- 
Combined with balsamic expectorants : Ipecac, 1-kgr.; Eucalyptus Extract, l-% gr. 

This Syrup will prove very beneficial in the treatment of inflamma- 
tory conditi ons of the respiratory tract, recent or chronic coughs, ' ' colds ' ' 
in the head or chest, grippe, bronchitis, asthma, hoarseness, loss of voice, 
catarrhal conditions of the nose and throat. 

Dose. — For adults, from one to three teaspoonfuls every three hours. 
Children of two years, one-half teaspoonful ; four years, one teaspoonful; 
six years, one and one-half teaspoonfuls ; eight years, two teaspoonfuls. 
Infants, from three months to twelve months, five to twenty drops, at 
regular intervals of three hours. 



Syrup FIVE BROMIDES. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Sodium Bromide 5 grains 

Potassium Bromide A grains 

Calcium Bromide 3 grains 

Lithium Bromide % grains 

Ammonium Bromide Igrain 

This Syrup embodies in an elegant and palatable form a combination 
of the several bromides which, collectively, have proved so very valuable 
in the treatment of all forms of nervous disorder, melancholy, epilepsy, 
convulsions, delirium tremens, nervous headache, etc. As a hypnotic it 
gives excellent results, inducing refreshing sleep without any deleterious 
after-effects. It is also useful in menorrhagia due to ovarian irritability 
and nervousness. 

Dose. — For adults,, one to two teaspoonfuls, in water, three times a day. 



Syrup HEROIN COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 1-16 grain of Heroin combined with 
balsams and demulcents incorporated in a glycerine base. 

The sedative action of this preparation is reputed to be more powerful 
on the respiratory apparatus than Morphine or Codeine, and as these two 
latter drugs are much more toxic in effect than Heroin, it is evident the 
Syrup Heroin Comp. is not only a safer but a more effective remedy. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls, in water, as required.

Syrup ACID HYDRIODIC (i per cent.) 

Each fluidounce of this Syrup contains 6.675 grains Acid Hydriodic, which represents 6.66 
grains of Iodine, or is equivalent to 8.69 grains Potassium Iodide. 

This Syrup is an excellent preparation for the exhibition of iodine, 
on account of its non-irritating qualities and the readiness with which it 
gives up the iodine when taken into the stomach. It will be found to 
produce very good results in the treatment of hay fever, chronic or acute 
rheumatism, lupus, asthma, catarrh, pneumonia, goitre, eczema, scrofu- 
lous diseases, etc. 

Hydriodic Acid (HI.) is composed of 126.6 parts of iodine and 1 part 
of hydrogen, or each 100 parts contain 99.22 parts of iodine and .78 part 
of hydrogen. These elements have such slight affinity for each other that 
the acid is quite readily decomposed ; and as the heat and light cause 
this decomposition, it is very important to keep this Syrup in a cool, 
dark place; ; it should also be corked tightly. 

If it develops a red color, the decomposition has begun and the Syrup 
is unfit for administration. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls, in water, before meals. 

Syrup ACID HYDRIODIC (2 per cent.) 

Each fluidounce of this'. Syrup contains 13.350 grains Acid Hydriodic, which represents 
13.32 grains Iodine, or is equivalent to 17. 3i> grains Potassium Iodide. 

It is frequently desirable to obtain more pronounced or prompt effects 
by the use of Hydriodic Acid. For such cases we have prepared this 
Syrup, which is of double strength. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls, in water, before meals. 

SYRUPS OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES. 

Following closely the researches of Prof. Samuel Jackson, about 
1852, as to the value of the Phosphate Salts of L/ime, Sodium, Potas- 
sium and Iron, that eminent therapeutist, Dr. Churchill, introduced 
to the medical world his results and experience and highly beneficial 
effects in the administration of the Hypophosphite Salts of the same 
metals. Unlike so many new remedies that are widely popular for a 
time but have only an ephemeral existence, the Salts of the Hypophos- 
phites have steadily maintained their high standard as remedial agents, 
and have grown in favor from year to year, until now they are recognized 
as almost indispensable in the treatment of those affections requiring the 
use of Phosphorus in its most available form, combined with the metallic 
bases, such as Lime, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, as well as the 
vegetable salts of Quinine, Strychnine, etc. 

So universal has become the use of the Hypophosphite preparations, 
it has led to the exploiting of numerous and unreliable proprietary or 
patent combinations, sold indiscriminately broadcast ; these, of course, 
we do not recognize, and they are not generally regarded as legitimate 
by the profession, but nevertheless have a large sale as a general tonic. 
Fver since i860 we have prepared the various Syrups and combinations, 
as suggested by Dr. Churchill, with the most gratifying endorsements of 
medical men throughout the country.

THERAPY OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES. 

Dr. J. Francis Churchill, having devoted himself from the com- 
mencement of his professional career to the study of the most fatal 
disease with which humanity is afflicted — pulmonary phthisis — was in- 
duced from profound observation, corroborated by the researches of 
various pathologists, to look for the especial cause of tubercular diathesis 
not in the derangement of the organic elements of the blood, but rather 
in the inorganic elements of that fluid ; and, further, he was led to con- 
clude that the phenomena presented by this disease were to be attributed 
rather to the loss or diminution than to the augmentation of any essen- 
tial element. What this element was, remained to be found out. Iron, 
sulphur, sulphates, sulphurets, chlorides, alkalies, had all been tried, with 
little or no success. Phosphorus was what fixed the attention of Dr. 
Churchill. But in what form was he to administer it? The result of 
his labor and observations led to this conclusion: "The tubercular 
diathesis depends upon a diminution in the economy of the phosphorized 
element, and this element, having to act the part of a combustible body, 
must be found at a degree of oxidation inferior to that of phosphoric 
acid." Finally, he selected for experiment hypophosphorous acid and 
the Hypophosphites. These latter salts are perfectly soluble in water, 
and, consequently, easily administered. He prepared, first of all, the 
Hypophosphite of Lime, and, after experimenting upon himself to deter- 
mine the dose, he administered it in thirty-five cases, the result of which 
was given in a paper read before the Acad£mie Imperiale de M£decine, 
July 21, 1857, in which he submitted to the judgment of the Academy the 
following conclusions : 

' ' The immediate cause — or, at least, an essential condition — of the 
tubercular diathesis is the diminution in the system of phosphorus in an 
oxydizable state. 

"The specific remedy for this disease is a preparation of phosphorus, 
easily absorbed and asssimilated, and at the lowest possible degree of 
oxidation." 

From the first day there is frequently observed a remarkable increase 
of nervous power, with a feeling of vigor, strength and comfort, to which 
the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is invigorated ; the 
appetite increases wonderfully ; the bowels become regular, and the 
evacuations more copious and less frequent ; the cough ceases, and a 
calm, profound sleep comes in to restore the patient and repair the 
ravages of disease, while the night perspirations diminish or cease alto- 
gether ; the face becomes fuller, the lips red, the eyes brighter ; the hair 
of the head and the beard grow and acquire strength, as also the nails, 
and, in children, the teeth — showing the importance of the action of the 
Hypophosphites upon the organs of nutrition.

Syrup LIME LACTOPHOSPHATE. 

Each fluidrachm contains 2 grains Lime Lactophosphate. It is 
prepared with an excess of Acid Lactic. 

Lime Lactophosphate has been largely used and is highly commended 
as a remedy of great value in the various forms of scrofula, in phthisis, 
and in the diseases dependent upon defective nutrition. 

Its use in the French hospitals demonstrates that it exceeds all agents 
tried in stimulating the functions of nutrition. All who have vised it 
unite in advocating its special adaptation and value when given to chil- 
dren and infants, where these functions are so often deficient. 

We manufacture this salt from an approved formula, and prepare from 
it a Syrup pleasantly flavored, which contains two grains of the Lime 
Lactophosphate in each fluidrachm. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful two or three times a day. 
Children, one teaspoonful. For infants the dose should be graduated 
according to age. 

Syrup PECTORAL (JACKSON). 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Morphine Hydrochlorate 1-16 grain 

Syrup Tolu q. s. 

This preparation is made according to the prescription of the late Dr. 
Samuel Jackson, Professor of the University of Pennsylvania, and has 
found much favor on account of its beneficial effects, as well as the 
eminent source from whence it originates. 

It is confidently recommended to all who are afflicted with coughs, 
colds, hoarseness or any of the various affections of the throat or lungs. 
It is especially serviceable in chronic coughs, and affords great relief to 
consumptive patients, even in advanced stages of the disease. 

Though simple in composition, it is believed to be one of the best 
cough remedies extant. It is extensively used and prescribed by mem- 
bers of the medical faculty everywhere. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two, three 
or four hours, as required. For children it should be proportionately 
decreased. 

Syrup PHOSPHATES COMP. 
(chemical food.) 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron Phosphate 1 grain 

Lime Phosphate 2 grains 

Sodium Phosphate • • 1 grain 

Potassium Phosphate 1-2 grain 

With slight excess of Acid Phosphoric. 

This preparation was introduced by the late Dr. Samuel Jackson, 
Professor of the University of Pennsylvania, and has been extensively 
prescribed with very gratifying results. It is not intended as a popular 
remedy, but is submitted to the medical faculty as a nutritive tonic, well 
suited to supply the waste of elementary matter in the human system 
during the progress of chronic cases, particularly in dyspepsia and in 
consumption. 

The Phosphates will prove most useful as a stimulant and tonic to the 
nervous system, which invariably suffers in conditions of debility. Not 
only theoretically, but in the best private and hospital practice, under

the direction of the most experienced medical men, this combination 
has proved a most efficient aid in all cases of malnutrition, supplying to 
the brain and spinal cord elements which are needed for the due per- 
formance of their functions, and the want of which is made manifest by 
many of the symptoms of wasting diseases. 

It has been found to be especially useful in tuberculosis, scrofula, 
rickets in children, anaemia, neuroses and kindred diseases. 

By careful and intelligent manipulation the salts are held in complete 
solution ; hence their efficiency in small doses. 

This preparation is pleasant to the eye, agreeable to the taste and 
grateful to the stomach, and does not nauseate by protracted use. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls.

Syrup TAMARINDS COMP.— WYETH. 

This Syrup is composed of an infusion of the pulp of fresh and 
fully ripened Tamarinds in proportionate combination with 
Prune Juice, Cascara Sagrada, Cassia Fistula, Carminative 
Aromaiics and Molasses. Each fiuidrachm represents 7 1-2 
grains Cascara Sagrada Bark. 

This is a purely vegetable preparation, intended to correct indigestion 
and to regulate the action of the bowels, and will be found an effective 
remedy for constipation, sour stomach, flatulency, etc. 

It is intended especially for infants and children ; and although it pro- 
motes a quiet sleep and allays feverish conditions due to indigestion, it is 
in no way narcotic, but is absolutely free of all anodynes such as Opium, 
Morphine, Bromides, Chloral, etc. 

Dose. — For children, one to six months of age, ten to thirty drops ; 
six mouths to one year of age, one-half to one teaspoonful ; one to five 
years of age, one to two teaspoonfuls ; five to fifteen years of age, two to 
three teaspoonfuls. Adults, one to two tablespoon fuls, to be repeated 
every two or three hours, as the circumstances of the case may warrant.

Slillingia 16 grains 

Berberis Aquifohum 16 grains 

Cascara A marga 16 grains 

Prickly-Ash Berries U grains 

Potassium Iodide 8 grains 

This preparation is much preferred by some physicians to the many 
alteratives which have been brought to the attention of the medical pro- 
fession. It can be prescribed with satisfaction in cases of secondary 
syphilis, and the prompt and decided action in the majority of cases 
leaves no room for doubt of the great value of this combination. 

Dose. — For adults, one to four teaspoonfuls three times a day. 



Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. 

Each fluidounce represents 

White-Pine Bark 30 grains 

Wild-Cherry Bark 30 grains 

Spikenard k grains 

Balm q/C -lead Buds & grains 

Blood Root 3 grains 

Sassafras Bark 2 grains 

Morphine Sulphate . . ." 3-16 grain 

Chloroform k minims 

In directing the attention of the medical profession to this invaluable 
expectorant, we must refer to the fact that it was only after an expendi- 
ture of much time and study, involving considerable experimental work, 
that we succeeded in perfecting our formula, enabling us to offer a 
medicated syrup which, for beauty and efficiency, we feel assured, cannot 
be surpassed. 

The preparation represents, combined in the most palatable form, the 
following ingredients: White-Pine Bark, Wild-Cherry Bark, Spikenard 
Root, Balm of Gilead Buds, Blood Root, Sassafras Bark, Morphine Sul- 
phate and Chloroform. These are combined and incorporated into a 
syrup with such pharmaceutical skill as to preserve unimpaired their 
therapeutic properties. As an expectorant, this syrup certainly possesses 
exceptional merit, and, in the opinion of leading physicians, has proved 
of invaluable service in allaying those distressing symptoms so apparent 
in laryngeal troubles. 

Its efficiency is likewise manifest in relieving that obstinate and per- 
sistent irritation that frequently accompanies the development of pul- 
monary affections. The quantity of Morphine Sulphate which is incorpo- 
rated is just sufficient to exercise a calmative effect and yet so minute as 
to be free from those objections which frequently characterize preparations 
of this kind. In coughs, colds and similar affections, such as hoarseness, 
sore throat, etc., whether recent or of long standing, it will be found to 
give immediate relief. 

Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. 
In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the attending physician 
may direct.

Blood Root 3 grains 

Sassafras Bark % grains 

Morphine Sulphate 3-16 grain 

Chloroform h minims 

With the addition of Tar. 

To the above Syrup of White Pine Comp. the addition of Tar 
is certainly of inestimable value, for it not only contributes to the 
moderation of the cough by the promotion of expectoration, but at the 
same time allays nausea, increases the appetite and digestive powers. 
Many of the most popular expectorants fail from the fact that, while 
the cough is temporarily relieved, the stomach is so badly disordered 
that the patient loses faith and the object of the Syrup is not accom- 
plished. 

We consider that the Syrup of White Pine and Tar is particularly 
adapted to children, whose proneness to coughs and colds renders it 
quite indispensable, and whose aversion to medicine makes it absolutely 
necessary to humor them with something very palatable. 

Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. 
In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct. 



Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. WITH CODEINE.

Balm of Gilcad Buds k grains 

Blood Root 3 grains 

Sassafras Bark 2 grains 

Codeine Sulphate 3-16 grain 

Chloroform 4 minims 

With many of the more progressive physicians Codeine has displaced 
Morphine as a palliative in the quieting of the local irritation of the 
respiratory organs due to colds, coughs, and bronchial affections. As a 
cough sedative they have found Codeine to be equal, if not superior, to 
Morphine, and to be free from all soporific effect. Where Morphine is 
contraindicated, the desired sedative effect can be obtained by Codeine. 
All that has been said regarding the therapeutic value of Syrup White 
Pine Comp. is equally true of this combination of Syrup White Pine 
Comp. with Codeine. 

Dose. — In recent coughs, irom one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. 
In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct.

Sassafras Bark 2 grains 

Codeine Sulphate 3-16 grain 

Chloroform U minims 

With the addition of Tar. 

This is an ideal combination and has become very popular with many 
physicians. The therapeutic value of its various constituents has been 
fully detailed in the notes upon the three preceding Syrups. The addition 
of Tar is certainly of inestimable value, for it not only contributes to the 
moderation of the cough by the promotion of expectoration, but, at the 
same time, allays nausea, increases the appetite and digestive powers. 
Its efficiency is likewise manifest in relieving that obstinate and persist- 
ent irritation that frequently accompanies the development of pulmonary 
affections. In coughs, colds and similar affections, such as hoarseness, 
sore throat, etc., whether recent or of long standing, it will be found to 
give immediate relief. 

Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. 
In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct.

antispasmodic and antiseptic properties of the Eucalyptol. This syrup is 
particularly indicated in those cases of acute and chronic bronchitis and 
various forms of coughs and colds which are complicated with chronic 
gastric and intestinal catarrh.

Dose. — In recent coughs, one teaspoonful as required. In chronic 
cases, three or four times daily, or as the attending physician may direct. 



Syrup YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC. 

Each ftaidrachm represents 7 1-2 grains Verba Santa with Aromatics. 

This is a valuable vehicle for the administration of bitter or dis- 
agreeable drugs and medicines. As a base or diluent in a prescription 
for use in the treatment of coughs and colds it is very desirable, and is 
itself beneficial in all bronchial affections. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to four teaspoonfuls three or four times a day.

WINES. 



Wine of AMERICAN ASH. 

Each tablespoonful represents 60 grains American Ash Bark. 

This preparation was formally introduced to the medical profession by 
Dr. Charges P. Turner, of Philadelphia, in an elaborate paper read by 
him July 19, 1881, at a meeting of the Northern Medical Association, 
held in Dispensary Hall, in this city. Dr. Turner had for several years 
previously employed it in his private practice, and the therapeutic results 
obtained in nearly every case treated by him, and in many he had seen 
in consultation with brother practitioners, were truly surprising. Im- 
pressed by its virtues and peculiar influence, as well as by its specific 
action, he concluded to bring it to the attention of medical men generally 
as a remedy entitled to their earnest consideration. In his exhaustive 
paper, as noted above, he entered fully not only into the theory of its 
action, but cited actual cases, through testimonials, that clearly demon- 
strated how practical results had confirmed the reasoning that first 
prompted him to experiment with a large number of patients suffering 
from every form of uterine disease. 

The Doctor writes : " It is invaluable in the treatment of the great 
class of uterine affections, viz., prolapsus, versions, menstrual irregulari- 
ties, inflammation, leucorrhoea, etc. , depending upon chronic enlargement 
for their basis. In presenting so important a contribution to our Materia 
Medica, its gynaecological connections should be briefly traced. En- 
largement depends upon the fact that the uterus is composed essentially 
of erectile tissue. In health, periodical enlargement and contraction are 
going on, in harmony with the physiological law of ovulation. Im- 
mediately preceding the menstrual period, the size of the uterus becomes 
markedly increased. If, at this crisis, deliverance from hyperaamia be 
interfered with by any malign influence, such as climate changes, cold 
bathing, exposure to cold, or some latent constitutional disorder, the 
shock falls upon the vaso-motor nerve system, and its enfeebled condition 
tends to arrest the circulation and to create vascular engorgement. The 
first stage of chronic enlargement, with its subsequent pathological 
changes, is thus set up. Without going any further into the etiology of 
our subject, it suffices to state that enlargement being now a fixed factor, 
the element of mechanical pressure in its turn impairs the neurotic force 
essential to contract muscular fibre, or stimulate the absorbent and capil- 
lary systems. It is just here that the Vinum Fraxinum Americance 
exerts its special influence. Unlike Ergot, which expends its contractile 
force energetically and spasmodically, it exerts a gentle but persistent 
tonic impression upon the benumbed nerve system ; the absorbents 
respond to the new vitalizing influence, and the uterus returns gradually 
to its normal size and condition." 

Not only Dr. Turner, but a number of other eminent physicians 
unite in advising their medical friends not to expect rapid cures : while 
relief and marked benefit may be gained in two or three weeks, it may be 
as many months before absolute freedom from suffering will result, as 



54 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

the time of cure naturally depends upon the extent and character of the 
trouble. Many physicians, both here and throughout the country, have 
used it -with advantage in cases where other medicines have failed to 
afford relief. 

The active medicinal principle of the plant from which the Wine is 
prepared appears to exist solely in the inner bark of the root, associated 
with an acrid resin-like substance from which it is essential to free it. 
As the virtues of the drug depend in a great measure on the time it is 
collected, we have made special arrangements with one of the best prac- 
tical botanists in this country to supply us with the bark, gathered at the 
proper season, from vigorous young trees, and containing its active 
medicinal principle in its greatest quantity and activity. The Wine is 
of a rich red-brown color, free from turbidity or sediment ; its odor is 
fragrant and its taste characteristic and agreeable. 

Dose. — One teaspoonful, taken three times a day, before meals. It is 
usually administered uncombined. 



Wine of CALISAYA. 

Each fluidrachm represents 5 grains Calisaya Bark. 

This preparation of Peruvian Bark is especially acceptable to females 
and children who cannot take the stronger preparation and who require 
the mildly stimulating effect of Sherry Wine with the peculiar tonic 
effect of Cinchona. It will be found very useful in the convalescence 
from low forms of fever, as a preventive of malarial diseases, and in all 
cases in which a mild and effective nerve tonic is required. It is prepared 
from choice Bark and Sherry Wine, with the addition of Aromatics. 

Dose. — For adults, one tablespoonful to a wineglassful. 



Wine of COCA. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Coca Leaves 60 grains 

Sherry Wine and Aromatics q.s. 

This preparation is made from the leaves of Erythroxylon Coca, 
exhausted with Sherry Wine, and represents, in a very pleasant form, 
the combined therapeutical effects of this valuable drug. In 1853 Dr. 
Weddei.1, stated that a decoction of coca leaves produced a gentle 
excitant effect, with an indisposition to sleep, in these respects resembling 
tea 1 and coffee ; also, that it will support the strength for a considerable 
time in the absence of food, but does not supply nutriment, and prob- 
ably, in this respect, acts like the two substances referred to. Prominent 
therapeutists claim it as a nervine excitant, possessing both anodyne and 
antispasmodic properties; it is also valuable' as a calmative in those 
nervous conditions peculiar to females, relieving indigestion and sick or 
neuralgic headache. As a tonic and invigorator, it imparts to the system 
— under extreme physical exertion or mental overwork, or in that lan- 
guid condition succeeding acute disease — a vigor and buoyancy that are 
remarkable. It is claimed to be an antidote for alcoholism and a cure 
for the opium habit. 

Dose. — One to two tablespoonfuls three or four times daily.

Wine of COD LIVER OIL EXTRACT— 
FERRO-PEPTONIZED. 

Eachfluidounce represents one-fourth its volume of Cod Liver Oil, 8 grains 
Peptonized Iron, with Port Wine and Aromatics. 

This preparation contains the extractive alkaloidal principles (so- 
called) of Cod Liver Oil in a pleasant, acceptable and palatable combina- 
tion with Peptonized Iron and Port Wine. 

Dose.— -For an adult, one-half to one wineglassful, either plain or with 
water or milk, before each meal. 

Wine of COD LIVER OIL EXTRACT WITH 
CHERRY AND HYPOPHOSPHITES. 

Each fluidounce represents one-fourth its volume of Cod Liver 
Oil with Extract of Malt, Fhcid Extract Wild Cherry Bark 
and the Hypophosphites of Lime, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, 
Manganese, Quinine and Strychnine. 

This preparation combines in a most palatable and agreeable form the 
active medicinal principles of the purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with 
the Syrup of the Hypophosphites, Malt Extract and Wild Cherry, the 
objection so often made by patients that their stomachs are disturbed or 
nausea produced by the administration of an emulsion or the raw Cod 
Liver Oil being entirely overcome by the careful elimination from the Oil 
of that fatty and oleaginous portion against which is chargeable all that 
disturbing influence, at the same time preserving unimpaired from the 
Cod Liver Oil its active principles upon which it depends for its stimulant 
and alterative influence in the process of assimilation and nutrition, care 
also being exercised to guard against the presence of any decomposition 
products by the extraction of these active principles from the Oil while it 
is yet contained in the fresh cod livers and before they have undergone 
any organic change. Thus is secured a preparation not only palatable and 
pleasant, but one from which have been removed as well all the features 
patients and physicians have so frequently found objectionable in Syrup 
of Hypophosphites, Emulsion or raw Cod Liver Oil, and embodying at 
the same time not only all that is valuable in the several ingredients, but 
combining the stimulant and alterative properties of the Cod Liver Oil, 
the tonic and sedative properties of Wild Cherry, the nutritive and dias- 
tasic principles of pure Malt, and the tonic, nutritive and reconstructive 
properties of the Hypophosphites. 

Most gratifying results may be secured in all cases of bronchitis, 
asthma, membranous croup, hoarseness, nervous debility, flatulent dys- 
pepsia, marasmus, insomnia, hysteria, night sweats, palpitation of the 
heart, anaemia, chlorosis, chronic diarrhcea, prostration (following fevers, 
diphtheria, tonsillitis, etc.), phthisis, paralysis, all pulmonary affections, 
nervous disorders resulting from an anaemic or exhausted condition of 
the system. 

Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful, preferably a short time before 
meals and at bed-time ; for children more than five years of age, one 
teaspoonful ; for younger children and infants, dose must be apportioned 
with reference to age, ailment and physical condition. 

Wine of ERGOT. 

Strength, United States Pharmacopoeia, 1SD0. 
Representing a reliable preparation of this valuable drug. 
Dose. — One-half to one teaspoonful. 



56 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 

Wine of GLYCEROPHOSPHATE OF LIME. 

Each fluidounce contains 10 grains Glycero-Phosphate of Lime. 

Attention was called to the value of Glycero-phosphate of Lime in the 
treatment of anaemia, chlorosis, sciatica, nervous prostration, the albu- 
minuria of convalescents, and in all cases of neurasthenia, by Dr. Albert 
Robin, before the Academie de Medecine of Paris, as recently as 1894. 
Since then, in hospital and private practice, it has been proved by many 
prominent practitioners that Glycero-phosphate of Lime supplies the 
exhausted and enervated cells with Phosphorus in a state of combination 
essentially the same as that naturally contained in them, — an organic or 
physiological Phosphorus, as it were, — readily assimilable, and thus differ- 
ing from the mineral Phosphorus of the Hypophosphites and the ordinary 
unassimilable Phosphate of Lime. 

Dose. — For an adult, two or more tablespoonfuls before each meal. 

Wine of IRON. 

Each fluidrachm contains 1 grain Iron and Ammonium Citrate. 

Uniting the valuable chalybeate tonic effects of Iron with the stimulus 
of Sherry Wine. 

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. 

Bitter Wine of IRON. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Iron and A tnmonium Citrate 8 grains 

Calisaya Bark 5 grains 

Among the many chalybeate and vegetable tonic combinations that 
are justly entitled to a high degree of favor, we know of none more 
worthy of esteem than this. The happy effect, in many cases of debility, 
loss of appetite and general prostration, has been so frequently demon- 
strated that we feel every confidence in recommending it. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful immediately before or after each 
meal. 

Wine of KOLA COMP. 

Each fluidounce represents 

Kola Nuts IS grains 

Celery Seeds US grains 

Coca Leaves 6k grains 

This preparation is specifically indicated in cases of nervous prostra- 
tion occasioned by over-excitement and fatigue of mind and body, impart- 
ing to the system under extreme physical exertion and strain a vigor 
and buoyancy that are most marked. Its administration will be found 
particularly valuable in counteracting the distressing consequences of 
undue indulgence in alcoholic stimulants, smoking or other excesses, re- 
lieving the morbid depression which invariably follows, promoting a 
healthy tone and vigor in the patient's condition. It also exerts a direct 
action upon hepatic functions, augmenting the secretions of urine and 
stimulating the nervous system and heart. Each fluidounce contains forty- 
eight grains Kola, forty-eight grains Celery and sixty-four grains Coca. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful every two or three hours, or as may be 
required according to the condition of the patient ; in extreme cases of 
prostration, a tablespoonful may be given as the preliminary dose.

Wine of TAR. 

(FORMULA OF THE LATE DR. SAMUEL JACKSON, PROFESSOR OF THE THEORY AND 
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.) 

The formula for the Wine of Tar, together with the method by which 
the best product can be obtained, was furnished us quite forty years 
since by Dr. Samuel Jackson, a celebrated professor in the University 
of Pennsylvania Medical College. He prescribed it largely either alone 
or in combination in every case of pulmonary disease, — in phthisis, 
chronic bronchitis, and the catarrhs of the broncho-pulmonary tract. He 
also gave it freely, and with much success, in the catarrhal affections of 
the mucous membrane in general, and especially — besides the pulmonary 
— in those of the genito-urinary passages. 

Dr. Jackson's success in the use of this remedy induced some of the 
most eminent practitioners of the time — among whom we particularly 
remember Prof. William Pepper and Dr. William W. Gerhard — to 
begin its employment in the same affections, and they had equally good 
results. Notwithstanding the remarkable success achieved by the Wine 
of Tar, newer and more popular, if less efficient, remedies for a time 
displaced it ; but in the course of these revolutions of professional favor, 
by no means uncommon, it has again assumed its rightful place as a 
remedy. The recent developments in the pathogeny of phthisis and in 
the therapeutics of catarrhal affections have demonstrated the utility of 
remedies possessed of the antiseptic powers and the stimulating and 
nutritive properties of the Wine of Tar, as made by us. 

In a complexus of symptoms by no means rare — bronchial and 
stomachal catarrh combined — the Wine of Tar has special efficacy : it 
moderates the cough, promotes expectoration, and at the same time 
allays nausea and increases the appetite and the digestive power. Prac- 
tical physicians need hardly be told how ordinary cough-remedies and 
expectorants fail under such circumstances ; the agents that relieve the 
cough disorder the stomach. It is a misfortune of the action of most 
remedies used against cough that they are apt to distress the stomach and 
impair the appetite. As in all cases of chronic cough, it is of vital 
importance to maintain the nutrition, the value of a remedy acting as 
our Wine of Tar can be readily appreciated. 

There is another class of cases in which the Wine of Tar is capable 
of effecting very great relief, — cases of bronchitis in which there is 
coincident catarrh of the urinary passages. In the latter affections alone, 
whether examples of pyone-phrosis or vesical catarrh, it must be ranked 
among the most efficient remedies. In irritability of the bladder, and 
in some instances of urinary incontinence requiring the exhibition of a 
stimulating remedy, it may be expected to do good. 

As in our combination the power of Tar as a remedial agent is re- 
enforced by the Malt and Hops, it acts as an efficient stomachic tonic and

general nutritive stimulant. The small amount of alcohol contained in 
it contributes to the tonic effect, but is insufficient to impair the digestive 
power of the gastric juice, which, indeed, it rather promotes. 

Finally, it must be admitted that even if administered in cases to 
which it is not adapted, no injury can be done by it, unless in quantity 
which can only be regarded as excessive. 

It has been asserted that the addition of Tar to ordinary beer will, if 
permitted to stand for some time, prove as valuable as the preparation 
made by the fermentation of Malt and Hops with the Tar. It requires but 
little reflection, however, to understand that if the vinous fermentation is 
conducted with the Tar there must be a more decisive and effective combi- 
nation of the ingredients. It is to the use of ill-prepared and unscientific 
combinations that the unsavory reputation of many meritorious remedies 
is often due. This fact has been conspicuous in the history of the prepa- 
rations of Tar, and to such errors must be in part ascribed the disuse of a 
once popular and always highly eligible remedy. 

When the inhalation of the vapor of Tar is indicated, our Wine of Tar 
will be found the most effective and agreeable way to administer it, either 
with an atomizer or by an inhaler. 

Directions. — As an expectorant the adult dose is a dessertspoonful 
every three or four hours. As a tonic take a tablespoonful an hour before 
meals, the physician graduating the dose for children according to age. 
Some practitioners, claiming that the gradual increase of the dose is an 
advantage, prescribe double the above dose to patients who have already 
taken it for a considerable time. Always dilute the dose with an equal 
quantity or more of water.

LIQUORS. 



Liquor ACID PHOSPHATES COMP. 
(with iron.) 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Lime Phosphate '. S grains 

Magnesium Phosphate 1-2 grain 

Potassium Phosphate 1-U grain 

Iron Phosphate 1-2 grain 

Acid Phosphoric q. s. 

Liquor ACID PHOSPHATES COMP. 

(without iron.) 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Lime Phosphate 3 grains 

Magnesium Phosphate 2 grains 

Potassium Phosphate 1 1-2 grains 

Acid Phosphoric q. s. 

These combinations of the Acid Phosphates have been used with 
very satisfactory results by Dr. Wn,UAM PEPPER and many prominent 
physicians as a tonic to the digestive organs and to the nervous system. 

Dr. Pepper devised the formula as a substitute for an empirical 
preparation, called " Acid Phosphate, " largely advertised in the news- 
papers, and freely exploited as a remedy for nervousness, dyspepsia, 
mental exhaustion, impaired vitality, etc. 

The value of the Phosphates, held in solution by an excess of Acid 
Phosphoric, in the ailments dependent upon a want of nerve force and 
enfeebled digestive power, was fully demonstrated in the administration 
of the Compound Syrup of Phosphates (Chemical Food), manufactured 
by us forty years since for the late Dr. Samuei, Jackson, Professor 
University of Pennsylvania. 

These preparations are almost identical, based upon the same theory, 
and very similar in constituents. We still manufacture and sell largely 
Compound Syrup of the Phosphates, as suggested by Dr. Jackson, which 
was introduced to the medical faculty, not as a popular remedy, but as a 
nutritive tonic, well suited to supply the waste of elementary matter to 
the human system during the progress of chronic cases, particularly 
in dyspepsia, consumption and all wasting diseases. We refer to this, 
more especially, to call the attention of physicians to the fact how cer- 
tain valuable combinations are reproduced, although, sometimes, under 
other names. Medical men will appreciate the benefit of the careful and 
intelligent manufacture and manipulation of a formula of this kind, 
together with the great advantage of reasonable cost compared with the 
high price of like preparations, put up in a popular form for the public. 

Dr. Pepper says, in the Philadelphia Medical Times, August 14, 1880, 
referring to the above mixtures (both of which we manufacture, desig- 
nating the ingredients on each label) : 



60 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 

" I have used these two solutions, lately, with very satisfactory results, 
and I incline to think they deserve an extended trial." 

They are frequently given with marked benefit in conjunction with 
Chloral and the Bromides, — lessening their objectionable effects and 
increasing their efficiency, — the Acid Phosphates being given during the 
day, and the Chloral or Bromides before bedtime, in cases of nervous 
debility with insomnia, such as are often found among the aged and 
those prostrated by long-continued sickness. 

Physicians will find these to be excellent vehicles for the admin- 
istration of Morphine, Quinine, Pepsin and all the class of remedies in 
which an excess of acid is requisite. 

By using one-half to one teaspoonful to a tumblerful of water, sweet- 
ened to the taste, a delicious and refreshing drink may be obtained, and 
one that will give the happiest relief in all cases of dyspepsia and loss of 
tone to the nervous system, induced by overwork and mental fatigue, 
and especially in the exhaustion attendant upon the excessive heat of 
summer or of tropical climates. 

In the preparation of Lemonade, these solutions can be substituted 
with advantage for Lemons or Lime Juice. 

Dose. — For adults, one-half to one teaspoonful, to be added to a wine- 
glassful or more of sweetened water, after each meal and before going 
to bed. 

Liquor ALTERATIVE COMP. 

This is a vegetable alterative, representing the therapeutic virtues of 
Sarsaparilla, Stillingia, Burdock, Poke Root and Prickly- Ash Bark, as 
recommended by Dr. J. Marion Sims, Dr. McDade and others in scrofu- 
lous and syphilitic diseases. It will be found to be a valuable vehicle for 
the administration of the Iodides where a combined effect is wanted of the 
mineral and vegetable alteratives. 

Dose. — The dose for an adult as an alterative for continued or progres- 
sive use (the only way in which alteratives are of benefit) is one teaspoon- 
ful in water three times a day, this dose to be increased to two, then three 
and four teaspoonfuls in the course of six to ten weeks, — i. e. gradually 
increase the dose to the point of toleration, which is to be determined in 
each particular case by the idiosyncrasies or susceptibilities of the patient. 

Liquor BISMUTH. 

Each fluidrachm contains 2 grains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate. 

A reliable preparation for obtaining the sedative effects of Bismuth in 
stomach or bowel affections. 

Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls. 

Liquor BISMUTH AND HYDRASTIS. 

A bland and aseptic solution of Bismuth Citrate in combination 
with White Alkaloid of Hydrastis Canadensis. 

This preparation is strongly indicated in the treatment of acute, sub- 
acute and chronic catarrhal inflammations of the mucous surfaces of the 
eye, respiratory tract, male urethra and female genital tract, in all of 
which it causes a subsidence of the irritation and inflammation. It is also 
useful in the treatment of gastric and intestinal inflammations. 

Dose. — Ten to thirty drops three or four times a day, or as directed by 
the attending physician. 



Kindly specify "WyETH'S" when prescribing. 61 

Liquor DIASTASE COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains 

Pepsin 1 grain 

Diastase 2 grains 

Amylopsin 1-2 grain 

Trypsin 1-2 grain 

Nitrohydrochloric Acid, C. P. 1-2 minim 

Nux Vomica 1-U grain 

The Amylopsin present possesses all the starch-digesting properties of 
Ptyalin, the secretion of the salivary glands. 

This preparation presents all of the gastric and pancreatic enzymes 
combined with Nux Vomica and Nitrohydrochloric Acid in pleasant and 
agreeable form, and will be found efficient in the treatment of all those 
disturbances of the digestive tract, whether gastric or intestinal, with 
which physicians have so frequently to contend. 

Dose. — For adults, one to two dessertspoonfuls, diluted with water, 
three or four times daily, preferably after meals. For children, in pro- 
portion.

APPLICATION AND USE OF SUPPOSITORIES. 

The extension of local methods in the treatment of diseases, both of 
systemic and local character, is a distinctive feature of modern thera- 
peutics. This particular development received its chief stimulus from 
those pathological doctrines which maintained the local character of 
most diseases, and of many which had long been held to rest on a 
constitutional basis. 

In this development of local methods, the use of Suppositories has 
grown pari passu with the necessities of practical therapeutics. We are 
convinced by multiplied evidence that this mode of applying remedies is 
capable of immense extension, as its advantages and utility are perceived. 
Suppositories satisfy all the requirements of a suitable topical method. 
They are neat, convenient and efficient. They can be readily adapted 
to the various canals and outlets, so situated as to be reached by local 
or topical means, and their use, as a rule, can be accomplished by the 
patient without skilled assistance. 

Suppositories may be prepared for a merely local action, for systemic 
effects, and for a combination of the two. They are especially efficient, 
locally, as compared with solutions, in that the action may be maintained 
at a uniform rate for a sufficient time. As compared with remedies 
which, introduced into the stomach, act after absorption, they have the 
advantage of a local impression in addition to the systemic effects. Thus, 
in the treatment of a nasal catarrh, the Suuppository employed for this 
purpose may have a local action on the diseased membrane and also an 
effect from the constitutional impression, the result of absorption. 

The effects of Suppositories comprehend a wide range of action. As 
regards the local, they may be anodyne, antiseptic, alterant and astrin- 
gent. As regards the systemic, they may be so compounded as to produce 
all of the effects of which medicaments may be .capable. The most 
superficial examination suffices to demonstrate their multiform applica- 
bility and their value as remedial agents. To indicate the range of their 
uses, it will be most convenient to classify them in groups. 

First. Anodyne. — In many instances, the stomach is either intoler- 
ant of narcotics or the patient has an invincible repugnance to taking 
them. Again, many anodynes act more efficiently by the rectum. This 
is the rule in inflammatory and painful affections of the abdominal 
organs, for as all of the veins of the abdomen — except the renal — unite 
to form the portal, it is obvious that a local as well as a systemic action is 
obtained from diffusible anodynes put into the rectum. 

As the phenomenon called pain has a complex mechanism, the reme- 
dies employed to relieve it are more effective when they act upon the 
periphery of the nerve as well as on the centre of conscious impressions. 
The mechanism of pain may be thus explained : The first element is the 
irritation of the end organs (peripheral expansion) or trunk of the nerve 
affected ; second, the transmission of the impulse thus originating to the 
centre where it is translated into consciousness ; third, the perception of 
the pain-sense ; and, fourth, its reference outwardly to the point of origin 
or to the periphery. An anodyne Suppository may act on the place of 
origin, on the lines of transmission and on the centre of conciousness 
of the pain-sense. An anodyne by the stomach only acts on the last 
mentioned — on the centre of consciousness. 

As by combination the efficiency of anodynes is increased, — the defects 
of one supplied by the action of another, — in preparing anodyne Supposi- 
tories they may be made to contain various agents. Among the most 
useful of these are formulae having the constituents indicated in the 
anodyne group. 

Second. Hypnotic. — As a rule, hypnotics act more favorably when

administered by trie rectum, and the most convenient form for adminis- 
tration is the Suppository. The practitioner has a large list from which 
to select. Some are prepared with, and others without, opium or mor- 
phine. When pain is the cause of wakefulness, no substitute for opium 
exists. When spasms are the source of pain — as, for example, after-pains 
— chloral becomes the most useful agent. The combination of opium and 
chloral is peculiarly efficient ; but as they aid each other's action, espe- 
cially on the respiratory centre, their conjoint administration requires 
prudence. The addition of belladonna confers on the combination of 
chloral and morphine increased powers, whilst it lessens the danger of 
cardiac and respiratory depression. The whole constitutes an hypnotic 
and analgesic combination of remarkable efficiency and is unequaled as a 
means of relief in cases of pain and wakefulness combined, especially 
when the former is the cause of the latter. 

The other hypnotic combinations are intended for wakefulness in cases 
in which opium and chloral are contraindicated, either in consequence of 
the nature of their powers or of idiosyncrasy on the part of the patient. 
They may prove of signal utility in cases of the insomnia of nervous 
affections and insanity and the lack of cerebral repose in acute diseases. 
We may mention, in illustration of the latter condition, the use of the 
hypnotic combination No. 60, composed of chloral, monobromide of 
camphor, and hyoscyamine, in the delirium and wakefulness of acute 
pneumonia. 

The rectal Suppository is advised in all cases requiring the anodyne 
and hypnotic combinations — even in pelvic pain and inflammation in- 
volving the uterus and its appendages; for, whilst absorption by the 
rectum may be as active as by the stomach— in the case of some remedies 
more so — by the vaginal mucous membrane, which closely approaches 
in structure the common integument, it is less so. In general, for the 
multiform applications of anodynes and hypnotics, rectal Suppositories 
are to be used. Exceptions to this rule will be indicated hereafter. 
For applications to other mucous surfaces — to the vagina, urethra, nares, 
fauces, auditory canal, etc. — various antiseptic, alterant and astringent 
Suppositories are required. 

The part acted by minute organisms — microbes, morbific germs— in 
the production of diseases is so important that topical applications con- 
taining antiseptics are among the most valuable remedial measures. 
Especially in catarrhal affections, common and specific, of the vagina, 
urethra and nares do we find antiseptic and astringent Suppositories 
unequaled in curative value. The advantages which they possess over 
solutions and other liquid preparations are : facility of application, thor- 
oughness and continuity of action. 

The foregoing statements, general in character, regarding the thera- 
peutical value of Suppositories will serve to indicate the conditions 
requiring them. To these special applications we now direct attention. 
Pursuing the subject in the same order, we will commence with the 
anodyne and hypnotic groups of remedial agents which may be applied, 
with the best results, in the form of Suppositories. 

In the various cerebral diseases requiring hypnotics and anodynes, 
the stomach is often in such an irritable condition as to be unable to 
retain remedies. Quite irrespective of the state of the stomach, however, 
Suppositories may be preferable. In acute meningitis, acute mania, 
maniacal delirium and delirium tremens, the stomach is either so irri- 
table as to reject medicines, or absorption by it of medicaments is so 
delayed or imperfect as to render their action uncertain, or the patient 
is in a mental condition which precludes swallowing. The hypodermic 
use of hypnotics and anodynes has been so often followed by disastrous 
over-action, or subsequently dangerous depression, that this mode of 



66 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 

giving these remedies is embarrassed by apprehensions of calamity in 
some form ; hence, the comfort and safety of rectal Suppositories, which 
will accomplish the same objects without the danger of sudden exces- 
sive action or after-failure of vital organs. Furthermore, in these acute 
affections, the powers of life need support in the only mode in which it 
can be effectually rendered — by suitable nutriment. The stomach is 
already in a condition which interferes seriously with assimilation. 
When to this condition of the organs is added the depressing effects of 
the usual anodyne and narcotic medicines — their impression on the 
end-organs of tie nerves of the mucous membrane — it may be readily 
conceived how necessary it is to employ medicaments free from these 
serious consequences. By means of the hypnotic and anodyne combina- 
tions — represented in the formulae of the two groups — or other desired 
combination, administered by the rectum twice or thrice a day, the best 
effects of which these remedies are capable are produced without any of 
the hindrances and ill results with which their stomachal use is attended. 
Abundant clinical experience has now demonstrated that chloral espe- 
cially is far safer and more efficient by the rectum than by the stomach. 
If not so conspicuously better in action by the same channel, opium, at 
least to some extent, acts more kindly, whilst its positively depressing 
effect on the nerves of the stomach, and consequent interference with 
digestion, is thereby avoided. One of the great advantages possessed by 
the rectal Suppositories, in the acute affections above mentioned, is the 
manner in which the force potential in the remedies thus used is rendered 
actual. The force is not liberated suddenly, as when the hypodermic 
injection is practised, and expiring as suddenly as given out, but is evenly 
and continuously evolved, maintaining a uniform effect. 

In that large and important group of diseases in which wakefulness is 
due to pain or spasm, or both combined, the rectal use of some of the 
anodyne and hypnotic combinations offers us the best resource available. 
Neuralgia, from affections of nerves, and from functional disturbance of 
some organ — as ovarian neuralgia, dysmenorrhea, etc. ; the pain of 
inflammation of a serious membrane — as pleuritis and peritonitis ; the 
pain caused by the passage of a calculus — as hepatic and renal colic, — are 
all conditions in which the rectal Suppository is most efficient. Of all 
of these various states thus relieved, the best results are had from rectal 
Suppositories in abdominal and pelvic pain, inflammation and spasm. 
Even in the affections strictly limited to the uterus and its appendages, 
of a painful and inflammatory character, rectal Suppositories are greatly 
more efficient than vaginal. On the other hand, mere local lesions of 
the vaginal and uterine mucous membrane, requiring astringent or 
antiseptic medication, are best treated by Suppositories applied to the 
affected part. 

Probably the most important Suppositories are those for the local 
treatment of aural, nasal, faucial, rectal, urethral and vaginal affections. 

Aural. — The aural Suppository is adapted to the shape of the canal. 
The formula? include the usual remedies for the treatment of otorrhcea, 
polypi, eczema, etc. 

In the application of aural Suppositories the auditory canal is gently 
wiped dry with the cotton-wrapped probe, the Suppository is then care- 
fully inserted. 

The superiority of such an application over ordinary methods is quite 
obvious. All the world knows the dangers accompanying the use of the 
syringe — except in skilled hands. 

Nasai,. — What is true of aural is equally (even in a higher degree) 
true of nasal affections. In the nasal passage, more than in any other 
cavities and outlets of the body, are deposited morbific germs, the pollen 
of plants and other noxious substances contained in the respired air. 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 67 

In accordance with the general law of etiology, the nasal mucous mem- 
brane, being most taxed in the performance of its functions, is most 
ready to yield to morbid actions. It is both the point of reception of 
disease-producing materials and the seat of localized morbid processes. 
Through the fifth nerve and its nucleus, the nasal mucous membrane has 
wide-spread associations with various organs, and is a link in the chain 
of numerous reflex disturbances. Nasal Suppositories offer an admirable 
resource in the treatment of various local and systemic affections. Catarrh, 
acute and chronic; ulceration, catarrhal and specific; polypus, asthma, 
hay fever, etc., are the most common of these. 

To get the best effects from nasal Suppositories the position of the 
patient must be such as to permit the medicament to come in contact 
with the affected mucous membrane. When the Suppository is placed 
in the anterior nares, the head should be inclined backward, the face 
uppermost, so that as the composition melts the materials flow over the 
whole surface. By means of properly prepared Suppositories, the agents 
found most effective in the treatment of diseases of the nasal passages 
can be applied by the patient with but occasional skilled assistance. 
After the Suppository has 'had time to act on the mucous membrane, 
and before another one is introduced, tepid salt solution can be used to 
cleanse the surface. 

Vaginai,. — It has already been pointed out that in the treatment of 
pelvic pain and inflammation, of conditions of disease which can be 
reached only by medicaments after absorption, rectal Suppositories are 
required. The vaginal mucous membrane does not have the structure to 
permit adequate absorption of medicaments applied to it. However, in 
morbid states of the vaginal and uterine mucous membrane, Suppositories 
perform a function which cannot be executed by any other form of topical 
application. The remedies applied to the vaginal mucous membrane 
may be antiseptic or germicide, astringent, alterative and anodyne. For 
specific catarrh, those Suppositories containing corrosive sublimate, iodo- 
form, the antiseptic oils, are especially effective. For simple catarrh, 
those containing tannin and iodoform, bismuth and tannin, hydrastis, 
acid boric, acid benzoic, copaiba, etc., will be found useful. 

Before the Suppository is placed in position, a hot-water or hot salt- 
solution douche should be taken, and also several hours after it has been 
introduced (allowing time for thorough action of the medicaments), the 
vaginal, canal should be well irrigated. By this means a clear surface is 
presented for the unobstructed action of the remedies used and the 
products of their action removed. 

In addition to the regular Cacao Butter Suppositories we supply Sup- 
positories composed of Boroglyceride, with sufficient gelatine to make 
them soft, pliable and soluble, without Cacao Butter or other oily ingre- 
dient. These have met with phenomenal success in the hands of most 
all physicians, and have almost replaced the Cacao Butter Suppositories. 

Boroglyceride (or, as it is frequently named, Glyco-Boron, Glyceryl- 
Borate or Glacralin) is composed of Acid Boric and Glycerine, which has 
been accepted and extensively used by the medical profession as one of 
the most satisfactory and valuable antiseptics. The antiseptic action 
of Boroglyceride is mild, safe and efficient, is accompanied by a relaxing 
and emollient effect, and. in this respect possesses a great superiority over 
many of the ordinary antiseptics, such as Iodoform, Acid Carbolic, etc. 
Prominent among its many advantages, including the above mentioned 
merits, are its cleanliness, freedom from odor, non-corrosiveness and 
from any tendency to excite or inflame the irritated or excoriated parts. 
Boroglyceride has also a most decided healing, soothing and curative 
action, particularly efficient as a remedy for drying up suppurating sur- 
faces. For the local treatment of the numerous diseases of the vagina 



68 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

and uterus there is no other single agent or antiseptic that can be used 
with such uniformly good results. 

Combining this preparation with a slowly dissolving vehicle (gelatine, 
which is not oily), there is presented to the tender surfaces of the vagina 
a constant and prolonged contact, which is most desirable in the treat- 
ment of local diseases. 

Our Suppositories of Boroglyceride" are perfectly dry and pliable and 
easily inserted, the hygroscopic qualities of the Boroglyceride being com- 
pletely overcome. They are sufficiently firm to handle when administer- 
ing, while their soft and pliable condition prevents any injury to the 
parts while inserting or when in place. 

. It is almost superfluous for us to mention the many indications where 
this agent will be found invaluable to the practitioner, whose experience 
has amply justified all that is claimed for Boroglyceride. We only submit 
it in this form for its convenience, adaptability, cleanliness and ease of 
administration. It has been found peculiarly efficacious in the treatment 
of the following diseases of the uterus and vagina : vaginitis, leucorrhcea, 
uterine ulcerations, pruritus vulva, erosion of the cervix uteri, vaginal 
catarrh, inflammation of the genital organs. 

Urethral. — The chief obstacle to the successful treatment of urethral 
affections has been in the attempts to reach the affected surface. Before 
the advent of the modern topical methods the only route available was 
by the stomach, through the kidneys, into the urine ; and the remedies 
found most useful belonged to a group of which copaiba was the represent- 
ative. When the local origin and clinical characteristics of gonorrhoea 
came to be understood, topical treatment assumed greater importance, 
until at present the old stomachal remedies are but little used. Various 
kinds of medicated injections constitute the chief resources of the prac- 
tical therapeutist in the management of the various forms of urethritis, 
simple and specific. The obvious hindrances to the successful use of 
injections consist in the uncertainty as to the precise seat of the morbid 
action, in the complicated structure of the parts, in the protection to 
pathogenic organisms afforded by the folds and crypts of the mucous 
membrane, and in the transient, fugitive impression made on the disease 
by solutions injected. Properly prepared Suppositories obviate these 
hindrances for the most part and successfully combat the local morbid 
process. 

For specific urethritis or gonorrhoea those Suppositories containing the 
most active germicides are the most efficient — i.e. corrosive sublimate, 
iodoform, resorcin, thymol, etc. When we have to deal with a simple 
catarrhal process, tannin, iodotannin, iodoform and hydrastis are exam- 
ples of remedies which have a curative action. To achieve good results, 
it is essential that the medicament come in contact with the diseased part 
and every microbe. The cylindrical Suppository should be pushed down 
the canal until it rests in the diseased area, where it should remain undis- 
turbed until it has entirely melted. Both before and after the introduction 
of the Suppository, the urethra may be washed out with warm water or 
warm salt-solution. The Suppository and its remains should not be dis- 
turbed until all the effects of which it is capable are accomplished. 

Forms. — The size and shape of Suppositories are determined by the 
nature of the cavity to which applied. The doses of the medicaments 
are fixed by their character. Thus, remedies capable of absorption, as 
morphine and corrosive sublimate, must be apportioned as for stomachal 
administration, and those acting only locally may be used in any 
quantity, up to the capacity of the Suppository. 

The period of their administration is determined by the character of 
the medicaments and the nature of the case. As a rule, two or three 
times a day will be proper and necessary ; but, when the local action 



Kindly specify " WyETh's" when prescribing. 69 

caused is considerable, it is best, generally speaking, to await the 
subsidence of the existing irritation before starting a new one. In the 
local treatment of catarrh this rule of practice is too often neglected, 
and a local action due to the medicament is confounded with the disease. 

The best time for administering a rectal Suppository, when the patient 
is not confined to the bed or to the house, is at night, on retiring. If 
bed-fast, they may be administered to the patient at any time, consist- 
ently with the state of the rectum. When the rectum is full of feces, it is 
necessary to empty it, and this may be readily accomplished by an enema 
of warm water. 

For convenience in ordering our Suppositories of the various forms 
and combinations, it is only necessary to specify the numbers. 

They are put up in neat wooden boxes, each containing twenty Sup- 
positories, and can be forwarded readily to any destination by mail or 
express. 

The list of formulae has been prepared with much care and research, 
having been submitted to several of our most eminent medical authorities, 
who have very cordially endorsed it, and to whom we are deeply indebted 
for many valuable suggestions as to doses and combinations. It embraces 
a great variety of formulae, adapted to almost every symptom or emer- 
gency, and the utmost care, exactness and scrupulous attention to detail, 
so essential in preparing a class of agents containing such potent reme- 
dies, are exercised in their manufacture. Each Suppository contains the 
exact amount of drug, thoroughly and evenly incorporated throughout 
the excipient, thus insuring the most prompt and effective action on the 
economy.

GRANULAR 

EFFERVESCING SALTS. 



The following list of Granular Effervescing Salts embraces those in 
popular and general demand. We ask the trade to compare their general 
physical appearance with those usually found in the market. 

For uniformity and fineness of granule, ready and complete solubility, 
sparkling effervescence and general freshness, delicacy of flavor and 
character, they are unsurpassed. They are prepared with scrupulous 
exactness as to the strength and contents of each drachm or sixty grains. 

The demand created for these Salts, and which has steadily increased 
since being introduced to the medical profession, is ample evidence of 
their superiority over other makes of either foreign or domestic manu- 
facture. They will not discolor with age, and being offered in a novel 
and attractive four-ounce bottle fitted with glass dose-cap and hermetically 
sealed, absolute permanence of the effervescing property is assured. The 
flavor and taste of a draught prepared from these Salts will please the 
most fastidious and leave nothing to be desired as an ideal method of 
administering the several remedies and combinations we offer below. 

APERIENT. 

Each dessertspoonful is the equivalent of fifty grains Saline Aperient Salts. 

A most pleasant and agreeable morning draught, acceptable to the 
stomach, and mild but effective in action. 

It is especially beneficial and remedial in all cases of constipation, 
biliousness, skin eruption, headache, derangements of the liver and 
kidneys, and all feverish conditions of the system, and repeated once or 
twice at one-half hour intervals if a more decided effect is desired. As a 
substitute for Hunyadi Water, this is the nearest approach to it and a 
much less nauseating draught. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful in a tumbler of moderately cold 
water, taken while effervescing. A laxative effect may be obtained by 
taking a heaped tablespoonful, at one time, in a large tumbler of water, 
and repeat this dose in one-half hour. For children, one-half to two 
teaspoonfuls, according to age and effect desired. 

BROMIDES MODIFIED. 

Each dessertspoonful contains 

Sodium Bromide ; . . . .% grains 

Lithium Bromide .lgrain 

Strontium Bromide lgrain 

Sodium Iodide lgrain 

The form of Granular Effervescing Salt is the most convenient to 
administer Bromides and to obtain the best effects. The Bromides com- 
bined hold first place as a remedy for convulsive disorder, epilepsy, 

6 



82 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

spasms, restlessness, etc. In insomnia due to stomach distress, with 
nervous unrest, prompt relief is usually afforded by the bromides. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful of the Granular Effervescing Salt 
contains four grains of the Bromides and one grain of the Iodide. Two 
to ten doses may be administered when indicated. For children the dose 
is one-quarter to one teaspoonful, repeated as often as may be ordered by 
the attending physician. When a more sustained influence is required, 
daily morning and evening doses may be given. 



CAFFEINE CITRATE. 

Each teaspoonful contains two and one-half grains Caffeine Citrate. 

This preparation is strongly indicated in all forms of headache, 
migraine, neuralgia and for the relief of any disturbance due to nerve 
exhaustion. It is useful as a cardiac stimulant and diuretic in cases of 
heart insufficiency and dropsy. 

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, and, for children, one-quarter to 
one-half teaspoonful, according to age, administered in a little cold water 
and taken during effervescence. It is an extremely palatable remedy. 
The dose may be repeated if necessary. 



CAFFEINE HYDROBROMATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains two grains Caffeine Hydrobromale. 

The present compound, which is a chemical union of Acid Hydro- 
bromic and Caffeine, contains the soothing, invigorating properties of 
both these substances, together with their specific therapeutic advantages 
and the nutrient, exhilarating effects that reside in the active principle of 
Tea, Coca and Guarana. Acid Hydrobromic is favorably known as a mild 
but certain sedative to the nervous system. Caffeine supplies a tonic, 
cheering effect, and their association with an Effervescing Salt forms a 
preparation exquisitely agreeable to the patient. The greatest pains have 
been taken in the manufacture of this Granular Effervescing Caffeine 
Hydrobromate, and its purity and homogeneousness, for which we can 
vouch, render it greatly superior to the unstable organic forms of Coffee, 
Coca, etc. 

Caffeine, like Coca, etc. , has a remarkable restorative effect upon the 
muscles, particularly muscles exhausted by severe physical effort. It 
promotes in a high degree the constructive tissue metamorphosis of the 
body. It lessens fatigue when induced by labor, whether mental or 
physical, and, conversely, prevents fatigue by arresting the tissue waste 
in the muscles. In fact, it is often called a muscular stimulant owing to 
its power of augmenting the contractibility of the transverse fibres. 
United with Acid Hydrobromic — an excellent nervine — its effects as a 
restorative agent are considerably accentuated, and the valuable properties 
of both, it would seem, are assured by this combination. 

Caffeine Hydrobromate, in the doses in which we have recommended 
it (2 grains) , is a valuable nerve and gastric tonic, promoting the appetite 
and digestion and gently relaxing the bowels. It is more conspicuously a 
diuretic, and procures a wholesome depuration of the blood. Many of its 
best effects proceed from this quality. It is a safe cerebral stimulant, 
clearing the mind and dissipating gloom. The action of the heart and

respiration are strengthened by its use and the body generally invig- 
orated. During long and exhausting marches the natives of tropical 
countries have availed themselves of the restorative, fatigue-lessening 
properties of Caffeine, and similar effects have been successfully demon- 
strated upon German soldiers. Indeed, as an antidote to the depressing 
"reaction" consequent upon intense fatigue of body and mind among 
scholars, business men and others, it is invaluable. In states of depres- 
sion due to other causes, to the abuse of alcohol and opium, particularly 
in the "malaise" following a debauch, or in the well-defined forms of 
melancholia, it is a wonderfully cheering and effective remedy. 

In headache it is universally employed, and, in the opinion of cele- 
brated physicians, excels all other remedies. It is to be recommended for 
any form of headache, for migraine or nervous sick headache especially. 
Here it is the remedy par excellence. It dispels the dulness and drowsi- 
ness following too abundant meals, and relieves that form of headache 
where the pain appears to be localized within the head, there being no 
tenderness of the scalp. In these cases the patient experiences from its 
use a feeliug of renewed life, of buoyancy and cheerfulness, without a 
subsequent abatement of spirits, in short, of a degree of will, being 
unattainable with safety by means of other drugs. 

In the headaches from which anaemic, chlorotic and hysterical women 
suffer so much, the Caffeine Hydrobromate is certainly the most reliable 
and unobjectionable means of relief. It may also be given with confident 
expectation of benefit in nervous and debilitated subjects where a condi- 
tion of restlessness and instability of the functions of mind and body exist. 
Its remarkable restorative powers render it valuable in individuals who 
suffer from neuralgia, of a vague character, probably dependent upon 
muscular fatigue. In grave maladies of the heart and kidneys, in valvular 
disease marked by insufficient action of the left ventricle, and leakage 
through the bowels, it is a safe and stimulative remedy, doing good even 
in the later stages of cardiac disease and dropsy. In the latter case its 
strong hydragogue powers are of marked influence in relieving the over- 
burdened circulation. 

Dose. — The above effects, and indeed the best properties of the Caffeine 
Hydrobromate, are obtained by giving the amount above mentioned, a 
dessertspoonful. For children, one-quarter to one teaspoonful, according 
to age. Given in a little cold water, and taken during effervescence, it is 
an extremely palatable remedy. The dose may be repeated if necessary. 

HEADACHE SALTS. 

CAF-ACETAN. 
(trade mark.) 

RELIEVE SICK-HEADACHE, NEURALGIA, SEA -SICKNESS, MIGRAINE, 
NEURALGIC INSOMNIA, NERVOUS EXCITEMENT, DYSPEPSIA, ACIDITY, 
MORNING NAUSEA, ETC. 

Acetanilid, Caffeine, Sodium Bromide, with Effervescing Citrate Salt. 

The chief ingredients of this preparation — Acetanilid, Caffeine and 
Sodium Bromide — are efficient and highly esteemed remedies for head- 
ache, neurasthenia and many nervous disorders in which pain and sleep- 
lessness are prominent symptoms, and also in those diseases where stimu- 
lant, diuretic and alterative medicaments are indicated. Acetanilid and 
Sodium Bromide have a mildly sedative effect on the heart's action, but 
in the doses in which they are employed in this preparation they do not 
limit the effects of the Caffeine and greatly enhance the anodyne and

nervine properties of that remedy ; and to this point we invite particular 
attention, as the Salts are especially designed for the relief of nervous 
disorders. In their effects on the nervous system these remedies are 
intercooperative, except in their action on reflex excitability, which is 
diminished by the Bromide and somewhat increased by the Caffeine. 

We have, therefore, selected these three remedies as well adapted in 
combination to be most effective, incorporating them in an agreeable 
vehicle, the Effervescing Sodium Citrate, forming a sparkling draught 
of mild physical properties. A heaped dessertspoonful, taken in a little 
water, makes a pleasant drink of gentle acidulous and saline taste, most 
grateful to an irritable, dyspeptic stomach. A bad headache, from what- 
ever cause, is the almost certain expression of a disordered stomach, 
resulting in one or more of the ailments referred to above. 

We know of no combination so effective as our Headache Salts, taken 
as directed, affording immediate relief, almost invariably lessening the 
nervous depression and tendency to sleeplessness, stimulating the appetite 
and toning up the whole system by neutralizing the primary source of 
the indisposition, whether from indiscretion, nervous exhaustion or due 
to anxieties or worry, all of which frequently occasion suffering so diffi- 
cult to relieve, and will prove almost a specific in seasickness, taken in 
the morning before breakfast and on retiring. Physicians will find the 
Salts invaluable in the nausea of morning sickness and in all cases of 
irritable dyspepsia induced by uterine disorders. 

For the type of headache so liable to occur from overeating, and par- 
ticularly after a course meal, with salads, etc. {especially if wine or liquors 
are freely used) , a full dose of the Salts, taken with a copious draught of 
hot water, will give prompt relief. By these means the hyperacidity of 
the stomach, the primary condition in the causation of this form of head- 
ache, is immediately neutralized and the irritability diminished. In cases 
of insomnia one or two doses will quiet all nervousness, insuring restful 
and refreshing sleep, with the advantage, as already stated, of correcting 
the tendency to sleeplessness. 

For migraine, or hemicrania, or "sick-headache," this formula is 
especially designed. All of these ailments will be greatly relieved by 
means of several doses of this preparation, taken at the moment when 
the attack comes on, and repeated at suitable intervals. 

Dose. — The dose is a heaped dessertspoonful, repeated every half hour, 
if necessary, until three doses are taken. For children, one-quarter to 
one teaspoonful. 



KISSINGEN (ARTIFICIAL). 

An excellent substitute for Carlsbad water (which depends largely for 
its beneficial effect upon the constituents of Kissingen salts) may be 
obtained by adding a dose to a tumbler of water and drinking slowly 
immediately after arising in the morning. As a specific for obesity, 
Granular Effervescing Artificial Kissingen should be taken alternating 
daily with Granular Effervescing Artificial Vichy. 

In this connection, the essay on "A Reliable and Harmless Way to Diminish and Cure 
Over-fatness" read by William T. Cathell, A.M., M.D., of Baltimore, at the ninety-ninth 
annual meeting of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the Stale of Maryland, is of 
particular interest; and we mil! gladly mail to physicians a copy of the essay, as tlie method 
suggested by Dr. Cathell has been found very effective in reducing obesity. 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 85 



LITHIUM AND POTASSIUM CARBONATES. 

(alkaline.) 

Each dessertspoonful represents 

Caffeine 1 grain. 

Potassium Bicarbonate 10 grains 

Sodium Bicarbonate 10 grains 

Lithium Carbonate 5 grains 

Indicated in all cases where an excess of acid exists in the secretions, 
and will be found especially valuable in cystitis and rheumatism. 

In chronic rheumatism, rheumatic gout, uric-acid diathesis, cystitis 
and other affections due to an acid condition, this remedy will be found 
preferable to any other alkali. The presence of Caffeine in the formula 
neutralizes the tendency to affect the action of the heart and renders the 
combination more desirable for prescribing than the various Salicylates 
as heretofore frequently used by the physician. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful taken in a glass of water (warmed slightly) 
three or four times daily, continued until the acidity is neutralized and 
the condition is exhibited in the urine. 



LITHIUM CITRATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains six grains pure Lithium Citrate. 

Indicated in rheumatic, gouty and kindred conditions. Owing to its 
less nauseating character it will prove more acceptable than the Carbonate. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful in a tumbler of moderately cold 
water, taken while effervescing. For children, one-half to two teaspoon- 
fuls, according to age and effect desired. 



MAGNESIA SULPHATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains sixty grains Magnesia Sulphate. 

This is a pleasant laxative and cathartic, free from the disagreeable 
and bitter taste characteristic of the salt itself. 

Dose. — For those patients requiring an occasional refrigerant or 
cathartic, one to four dessertspoonfuls may be administered morning and 
night. As a decided cathartic, a tablespoonful should be given, and the 
dose repeated in an hour. For children from five to ten years of age a 
dessertspoonful should prove ample, and from ten to twenty years the 
dose should be graduated accordingly. 



MAGNESIAN APERIENT. 

An aperient and refrigerant, possessing the quality of rendering the 
secretions neutral or alkaline, more especially those of the alimentary 
canal. The mild and gentle action characteristic of Magnesia attends the 
use of this. 

Dose. — One dessertspoonful, containing forty-five grains Magnesia 
salt. 



86 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

MAGNESIUM CITRATE. 

Possesses all the laxative and purgative properties of the liquid 
preparation, but has the advantage of being more economical to use ; 
is effective, at the same time pleasing to the taste. 

Dose. — Two to four dessertspoonfuls. 

PHOSPHO-LITHIA. 

Each dessertspoonful contains 

Lithium Carbonate $ grains 

Sodium Sulpho- Phosphate 50 grains 

Potassium Bicarbonate 10 grains 

This is a double salt of Lithium, possessing laxative and aperient 
properties, and, in the effervescing form, is most palatable and agreeable 
to the patient. It is indicated in the treatment of lithemia, gout, 
rheumatism, cystitis and all similar affections having their origin in 
uric-acid diathesis. Phospho-Lithia will prove efficient, but care should 
always be exercised in its use to avoid excessive catharsis, although in 
some instances, as the physician will recognize, this would be a desirable 
condition. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful in a glass of water once or twice daily, or 
as often as may be deemed necessary by the attending physician. 

POTASSIUM BICARBONATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains eight grains Potassium Bicarbonate. 

Potassium Bicarbonate, the most important and useful of the alkaline 
remedies, is best and certainly most agreeably given, on physiological as 
well as clinical grounds, in combination with an effervescing vehicle. 
By this means the slightly saline taste of the pure Salt is obscured, and, 
what is more desirable, its characteristic effects as a solvent, alkalinizing 
agent considerably increased. 

Potassium Bicarbonate promotes the flow of gastric juice, the excretion 
of uric acid and bile, hinders the formation of gravel and gall-stones, and 
purifies the blood in states of stagnation and plethora by augmenting its 
alkalinity and volume. In health this Salt is normally present in the 
blood. It is therefore indicated whenever, from any cause, a deficiency 
of the alkaline element in the circulation is suspected. 

The most obvious and perhaps most frequent employment of Potassium 
Bicarbonate is in hyperacidity of the stomach in children and adults. 
Here it acts as an alkalinizing agent by overcoming the excess of acid. 
To accomplish this, in these cases, it must be given in large doses ; for a 
small dose, on the contrary, increases the secretion of the gastric juice 
without neutralizing an excess of acid. Owing to the stimulative effect 
upon the secreting cells of the stomachal wall, Potassium Bicarbonate is 
of the greatest use in dyspepsia, particularly in that form where washing 
out and cleansing from accumulations of partially digested, irritating 
foods is needed. Here the effervescence of this preparation and its 
copious dilution materially increase the beneficial properties of the 
remedy. In chronic gastric catarrh the bracing effect of this "lavage " 
of the stomach and subsequent promotion of the flow of gastric juices 
render the greatest service to the patient. When there are bitter eructa- 
tions and nausea, and especially vomiting of a violent nature, this prepa- 
ration, given in rather large doses and in but little water, affords a 
soothing, positive sense of relief. It may be employed with advantage in 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 87 

intestinal catarrh, in catarrh of the biliary and urinary passages when 
these affections are chronic and would demand a water similar to that of 
Carlsbad and Vichy. In fact, we believe that this Effervescing Bicar- 
bonate will be found quite as efficacious as the natural waters. 

Its remarkably beneficial effects upon the liver and its unrivaled 
solvent action on gall-stones render it indispensable in such cases and in 
hepatic torpor and biliousness. As it forms with uric acid more soluble 
urates than do any of the other alkalies, it is to be preferred to them in 
the treatment of urinary calculi, gravel and uric acid diathesis, in all of 
which conditions it is invaluable and practically a specific. 

In gout and rheumatism an alkali is obviously needed, not only for its 
good effects upon the blood, the liver and the urinary excretions, but also 
as a remedy for dyspepsia, biliousness and plethora, from which gouty 
subjects so frequently suffer, and which is so often the original cause 
of the joint affection. For these distressing and troublesome symptoms 
the free use of Effervescing Bicarbonate, well diluted, will prove exceed- 
ingly beneficial and yield an amount of relief that can hardly be over- 
estimated. 

In diabetes it is likewise of utility, diminishing thirst and excretion 
of sugar, and contributing to the more complete oxidation of effete 
matters. Even in the coma of this disease considerable benefit has been 
observed from the use of an alkali. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful of the Effervescing Potassium Bicarbonate 
contains eight grains of this Salt. It is a convenient amount given in 
some cold water, but it should usually be frequently repeated to obtain 
the best effects. For children, one-half to one teaspoonful, according 
to age. 

POTASSIUM CITRATE. 

Each leaspoonful contains tzvelve grains of the salt. 

Potassium Citrate is one of the most useful of the alkaline remedies, 
is best and certainly most agreeably given, on physiological as well as 
clinical grounds, in combination with an effervescing vehicle. An extem- 
poraneous substitute for Neutral Mixture in cases of deranged stomach, 
nausea, feverishness, hyperacidity, etc. When there are bitter eructations 
and nausea, and especially vomiting of a violent nature, this preparation, 
given in rather large doses and in but little water, affords a soothing, 
positive sense of relief. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful in a tumbler of moderately cold 
water, taken while effervescing. If not relieved by the first dose, take 
another in one-half hour, and if necessary a third dose. For children, 
one-quarter to one teaspoonful, according to age. 



SEIDLITZ MIXTURE. 

Each dessertspoonful represents fifty grains Seidliiz Aperient Mixture. 

A saline laxative, effective in relieving moderate constipation and in 
reducing the fever natural to kindred disorders. A more convenient form 
than the ordinary Seidlitz Powders. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful in a tumbler of moderately cold 
water, taken while effervescing. A laxative effect may be obtained by 
taking a heaped tablespoonful, at one time, in a large tumbler of water, 
and repeat this dose in one-half hour. For children, one-half to two 
teaspoonfuls, according to age and effect desired. 



88 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. 

SODIUM BICARBONATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains eight grains Sodium Bicarbonate. 

It is a well-known fact that the administration of alkalies in large 
doses promotes the acid secretions of the stomach, and if this is desired 
one to two dessertspoonfuls should be taken on the empty stomach about 
one-half hour before meals, at the end of which time the stomach will be 
in condition to assimilate and digest the food, being well supplied with 
free acid. 

Dose. — For acidity of the stomach, acid eructations, heartburn, etc., 
a dessertspoonful should be taken in a tumbler of water and drunk while 
effervescing, either during the meals or immediately after; also at inter- 
vals during the day. For children, one-quarter to one teaspoonful, as a 
corrective for vomiting or rejection of milk food. 



SODIUM PHOSPHATE. 

A REMEDY FOR CONSTIPATION, OBESITY, RICKETS, JAUNDICE, ETC. 

Each teaspoonful contains thirty grains of the salt. 

Sodium Phosphate has long been the favorite purgative, inasmuch as it 
acts gently but surely, has little or no taste, and is easily taken by children 
and delicate persons. In the present form (the effervescent) it is a delight- 
ful remedy, constituting a refreshing, sparkling draught of bland action. 

Sodium Phosphate is a mild but certain hepatic stimulant, and relaxes 
the bowels both by promoting an excretion of bile and by acting directly 
on the mucous membrane of the intestines. It does not cause "griping," 
nor does it derange the stomach or excite nausea ; unlike many other 
purgatives, it has a beneficial effect upon the appetite and digestion, 
stimulating the flow of gastric juice and increasing assimilation. It is a 
powerful nutritive agent, contributing to the nourishment of bone by 
supplying phosphorus, and promoting the general well-being by helping 
tissue construction in muscles and nerves. It disposes of superfluous fat, 
or adipose tissue, by oxidation, by carrying nitrogenous waste products 
in the urine and by emulsionizing fatty materials in its course through 
the economy. 

Sodium Phosphate, being a certain hepatic stimulant and causing a 
marked outflow of bile, the consistence of which it renders thinner, is for 
these reasons an incomparable remedy for biliousness, constipation and, 
above all, for jaundice. It is particularly adapted for the treatment of 
these maladies in children on account of its absence of taste and its 
efficient but unobjectionable properties. Diarrhoea and dysentery in 
children are effectually controlled, very often, by the action of this salt in 
cleansing the mucous membrane of the lower bowel and evacuating in a 
complete and unirritating manner the rectum and large intestine. 

The employment of Sodium Phosphate leads to an increased urinary 
excretion ; and, by withdrawing large amounts of water and fatty nitrog- 
enous matters through the kidneys, materially reduces the total of adipose 
tissue. Hence few remedies excel it in the treatment of obesity and the 
full habit of body accompanied by congestion of the portal circulation, 
irritability of temper and dejection of spirits from which the gouty 
subject and the bon vivant so often suffer. 

As a remedy for rickets it is obviously indicated, containing as it does 
phosphorus, an essential ingredient of osseous tissue. Small doses only 
are necessary in children. In hepatic derangement of childhood, made 
evident by white or green stools, it is a sovereign remedy. In grave

exanthematous fevers, where a purgative, to be safe, must be simple and 
efficient, Sodium Phosphate can be relied on. In such cases its cooling, 
saline qualities render it grateful and efficient to the patient. 

Phosphorus is a fundamental constituent of nervous matter, the sub- 
stance of brain, spinal cord and nerves. Hence the usage of the present 
compound in diseases characterized by a deficiency of "tone" of the 
nervous system — in debility, spermatorrhoea, impotence, locomotor ataxia, 
neurasthenia, etc. — is strongly to be recommended. 

Diabetes is treated with decided advantage by means of the Sodium 
Phosphate. Not only are its cholagogue properties beneficial in this 
malady, but also its well-known power of arresting the secretion of sugar 
in the liver. 

Dose. — For children, to relieve diarrhcea, constipation, etc., a small 
dose only is necessary, one-eighth to one-half teaspoonful, according to 
age and effect desired. As a purgative in adults, one or two teaspoonfuls. 
As an alterative in gout, obesity, hepatic derangement, etc., one tea- 
spoonful morning and night. An excellent substitute for Carlsbad water. 

SODIUM SALICYLATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains ten grains Sodium Salicylate. 

This preparation will be found of value in the treatment of acute or 
chronic rheumatism, gout and all the various forms of uric-acid diathesis. 
In gastric and intestinal catarrh and certain forms of dyspepsia — namely, 
that of gouty origin — Sodium Salicylate is also efficacious. 

Dose. — A dessertspoonful three or four times a day in a glass of water, 
and proportionate doses to children. 

SODIUM SULPHATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains 60 grains of Sodium Sulphate. 

In small doses this remedy will be found to possess aperient and 
diuretic properties. Its particular office, however, is that of a laxative, 
and its popularity in that capacity in the shape of an Effervescing Salt 
resulted in its addition to the British Pharmacopoeia. 

Dose. — As an alterative aperient, in hepatic derangement, etc., one 
dessertspoonful morning and night. As a purgative for adults, two des- 
sertspoonfuls. For children, to relieve constipation, etc., a small dose 
only is necessary, one-half to one teaspoonful, according to age and effect 
desired. 

SODIUM SULPHO-PHOSPHATE. 

Each dessertspoonful contains thirty grains of each salt. 

In this combination the aperient property of Sodium Phosphate is 
reinforced by the addition of Sodium Sulphate, producing a combination 
of decided merit. 

Dose. — As an alterative aperient, in gout, obesity, hepatic derange- 
ment, etc., one dessertspoonful morning and night. An excellent sub- 
stitute for Carlsbad water (the effect of which is due to the presence of 
these two salts) may be obtained by adding a dose to a tumbler of water 
and taking it gradually on getting up in the morning. As a purgative in 
adults, one to two dessertspoonfuls. For children, to relieve constipa- 
tion, etc., a small dose only is necessary, one-half to one teaspoonful, 
according to age and effect desired.

STRONTIUM SALICYLATE COMP. 

(alkalinb.) 

Each dessertspoonful contains 

Strontium Salicylate 5 grains 

Ammonium Salicylate 5 grains 

Lithium Bitartrate % grains 

Alkaline Effervescing Base q. s. 

The presence of Lithium Bitartrate insures elimination of the salicy- 
lates without producing an irritating effect upon the kidneys. In the 
effervescing form the greatest volume of therapeutic power is obtained, 
permitting small doses and avoiding toxic effects. This preparation is 
indicated in the treatment of rheumatism, gouty affections, neuralgia, 
migraine and all other disorders in which the salicylates are recognized 
as being specific. 

Dose. — One dessertspoonful taken in a glass of water two or three 
times daily. 

VICHY (ARTIFICIAL). 

Each drachm of sixty grains, or a heaping teaspoonful, is equivalent to a 
tumblerful of genuine Vichy water. 

The well-known and valuable therapeutic properties of the Vichy 
water are strictly and carefully imitated, following the French govern- 
ment's official analysis. The most popular of the three springs is the one 
selected — namely, the Grande-Grille. 

As a specific for obesity, Granular Effervescing Artificial Vichy should 
be taken alternating daily with Granular Effervescing Artificial Kissingen. 

See note under Artificial Kissingen. 

Dose. — A heaping dessertspoonful in a tumbler of moderately cold 
water, taken while effervescing. For children the dose may be reduced 
— one-quarter to one teaspoonful.

SOLUBLE 

POWDER-CAPSULES. 



There are few problems in pharmacy of such practical importance as 
the problem of evolving a satisfactory method of administering drugs of 
disagreeable taste, and particularly drugs that change rapidly in the air 
or under moist, hot, or in any degree unfavorable climatic conditions. 
It is not only desirable, in preparing a drug for administration, that any 
disagreeable taste should be concealed, but it is, of course, of the utmost 
importance that its medicinal virtue should be fully preserved, and that 
the physiological effect to be derived from its administration should in no 
way be lessened or retarded by the form or method employed in preparing 
it for use, as is unavoidable where the drug is manipulated into a mass 
with moisture containing any cohesive agent such a9 tragacanth or gum 
Arabic, so extensively employed in the preparation of the old style mass 
pill, whether gelatine- or sugar-coated, which objectionable features we 
have studied carefully to avoid in preparing this new form of medication, 
consisting of a hermetically sealed globular-shaped Soluble Gelatine 
Capsule or Pearl, in which is enclosed, in perfectly dry powder form, the 
amount of drug desired to be administered. 

In bringing these Powder-Capsules to the attention of the medical 
profession, we invite earnest attention to the excellence of this mode of 
preserving a drug for use, its convenience and permanence, as well as 
elegance of finish. They do not change nor harden with age, or become 
insoluble, but may be kept indefinitely under great variations of climate 
and atmosphere, and may always be depended upon to preserve from 
injury, and from hardening with time, the medicament enclosed. Their 
size, shape, freedom from unpleasant taste, familiar composition and 
nature, render them not only pleasing to the eye, but most acceptable to 
that class of patients to whom the old form of pill is so objectionable. 

In the manufacture of these Capsules every possible precaution is 
observed for preserving the medicament from injury by absorption of 
moisture or from contact with foreign matter, and when desirable on the 
part of the physician the Capsules may be broken and the contents sub- 
divided into such doses as may be preferred. In fact, these Powder- 
Capsules present the only means afforded for preserving indefinitely in 
fresh and unchanged condition such medicine in powder form as may 
be desirable to introduce into the human economy, and which may at 
once prove freely soluble in the solvents of the stomach, as the gelatine 
from which the Capsules are prepared is carefully manufactured to dissolve 
readily in contact with the gastric fluids, though the fact must not be lost 
sight of in testing the Powder-Capsules as to their solubility that the 
finest quality of gelatine is only softened and not dissolved by cold solu- 
tions, and experiments should be conducted, therefore, only at the tem- 
perature of the body. The rapid solubility of the Capsule insures the 
quick absorption of the medicament, as will be noticed in a physiological 
interval after swallowing, and there is scarcely any property of such 
practical value and importance to the physician and patient alike, or of 



92 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

such convenience and comfort as well, as this property of quick solu- 
bility and unimpeded absorption. Such being the advantages of this 
mode of preserving and administering medicinal doses of drugs, we 
offer these Powder-Capsules to the medical profession with the utmost 
confidence in their utility and that the claims we urge will be confirmed 
by experience.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF THESE FORMULA. 

One of the No. i Capsules should be administered every fifteen min- 
utes for the first forty-eight hours when the patient is awake, unless there 
should occur too free evacuation of the bowels, when they should be 
temporarily stopped. At the beginning of the second twenty-four hours 
one of the No. 2 Capsules should be given every fifteen minutes, and both 
the No. i and No. 2 should be administered, unless a too copious diarrhoea 
is established, which would indicate the temporary cessation of the 
treatment ; however, as soon as the evacuations are under control, the 
capsules should be continued. In the beginning of the third or fourth 
day one of the No. 3 Capsules should be given every three or four hours, 
alternating with the other capsules. On or about the fourth or fifth day 
the No. 1 and No. 2 Capsules should be discontinued and copious doses 
of chlorate of potash should be administered every three or four hours for 
a day or two, as preventing the occurrence of ptyalism, after which the 
capsules should be given in sufficient doses to cause one or two evacua- 
tions daily.

COMPRESSED 

HYPODERMIC TABLETS. 



ALL OF OUR HYPODERMIC TABLETS COMPRESSED WITHOUT FOREIGN 
ADMIXTURE, EXCEPT WHEN THE BULK OF THE MEDICAMENT IS 
LESS THAN ONE-TWELFTH OF A GRAIN. 

The first really successful effort to prepare Hypodermic Tablets was 
made by us at the suggestion of Dr. H. Augustus Wilson, of Philadel- 
phia. The paper read by him before the County Medical Society on this 
subject attracted considerable attention, which indicated the general 
feeling of the utility of such a preparation. Attempts had been made 
abroad to produce such tablets by the aid of gelatine or gelatinous exci- 
pients, but the resulting product did not appeal to the practical good 
sense of the medical profession and received but little encouragement. 
Having ingenious machinery, especially invented for the purpose, admi- 
rably adapted to the making of our Compressed Pills on an immense 
scale, we saw that, with slight modifications, this plant could also be util- 
ized to make the proposed Hypodermic Tablets in any number. The 
chief difficulty had been to find a vehicle or excipient free from objection. 
Owing to the minute quantity of an alkaloid that can be used hypoder- 
mically, it is obvious that there must be an excipient to combine with it 
to give the necessary form or bulk to the mass, and to possess the indis- 
pensable requisite of solubility. After numerous trials it was found that 
chemically pure milk-sugar answered the purpose more satisfactorily than 
any other that had been used or proposed. This can be compressed with 
any of the medicaments employed hypodermically, preserves the form 
given it, undergoes no change by prolonged keeping, is free from any 
local irritant action, makes no systemic impression, and is freely and 
entirely soluble in water. 

The utility of the Hypodermic Tablet is apparent at a glance. It is 
more convenient for stomachal administration than powder, solution or 
pill. It remains soluble and unchanged in composition for years. Dr. 
BarTholow informed us that some of the very first prepared by us, which 
we presented to him, Le found to be readily soluble after a number of 
years and as active as they were originally. It is quite impossible to 
preserve a solution so long in good condition, and the best made pill, in 
such a length of time, may become hard and insoluble : even the pure 
medicament may deteriorate by keeping. 

The Tablet is definite and accurate in dose. This is of great moment. 
The most serious mistakes have been made in the dose of hypodermic 
solutions. When such minute quantities as are dealt with in the admin- 
istration of alkaloids are prepared accuracy can be obtained only by sub- 
division of large amounts. It is also only by such machinery with which 
our laboratory is equipped that the necessary completeness of trituration 
and absolute accuracy of subdivision can be effected. 

When the Tablet is to be administered hypodermically, from ten to 
thirty minims fresh distilled water are poured over it in a spoon, and it is 

LOFC. 



ioo Kindly specify " WyETh'S " when prescribing. 

then broken up. In a few seconds, or minutes at most, a perfect solution 
will be effected. The process of solution is much facilitated by heating 
the spoon gently over the gas, lamp or candle. It is always safer in 
preparing a hypodermic solution to raise the temperature of the water in 
which the medicament is dissolved to or near the boiling point. In this 
way any organic matter or organisms in the water will be destroyed. 
Many of the unpleasant local accidents which have been caused by sub- 
cutaneous injections were due to the use of distilled water. If not fresh 
when used for making solutions, it will be found on examination to be 
full of a minute vegetable growth, which is very apt to cause trouble. 
Rain water also does very well if previously boiled. It must be an exceed- 
ingly rare event when there is not time to heat the water in a spoon over 
a candle before making the solution or before injecting. The operator 
must take pains to effect a perfect solution : sufficient mechanical agitation 
and trituration will do this, but it is more certainly accomplished by 
heating. We strongly advise all who have occasion to use hypodermic 
injections, whether with our Tablets or not, to heat the water in making 
the solution before administering it. 

Thus, by the use of our Hypodermic Tablets, without risk as to dose, 
and without any previous troublesome manipulation, afresh solution can 
be at once made, and there can be none of those organisms present 
which cause so much mischief when ordinary solutions of alkaloids are 
administered hypodermically. One of the most vexed questions at the 
present time is the best means of making hypodermic solutions sterile, 
— that is, free from the penicillum ; but, as already explained, all this 
annoyance is obviated by the use of our Tablets. 

When for internal administration an alkaloid is to be employed, by 
giving a tablet the proper dose is assured, and the medicament is so 
perfectly triturated and soluble that the best effects of which the remedy 
is capable can certainly be produced. 

The combinations of alkaloids in some of the formulae are so made 
as to secure the results of antagonistic action in respect to certain im- 
mediate and remote effects of an unpleasant or dangerous character. By 
the coincident use of Tablets of different constituents effects antagonistic 
and synergistic can be produced at the pleasure of the operator. The 
most conspicuous example of the adaptation of physiological antagonism 
to practical therapy is that of Morphine and Atropine; whilst these 
agents, combined, act most agreeably and efficiently in the relief of pain 
and to procure sleep, they antagonize each other at the point of danger : 
the failure of the respiration and circulation caused by Morphine is 
opposed by the action of Atropine in stimulating both these functions. 
The depressing effect of Pilocarpine is promptly and entirely overcome 
by Atropine, and hence, after the administration of the former, should 
dangerous symptoms arise, they can be speedily removed by the hypo- 
dermic injection of the latter. Again, in giving Cocaine, very threatening 
Symptoms may occur from a suitable dose in certain subjects having a 
peculiar susceptibility to its action, but the physician provided with the 
Tablets has it in his power to quickly remove the danger by giving a 
small dose of Morphine. Examples of such antagonism are now very 
numerous and have proved in a high degree useful. 

In the preparation of Tablets, as a rule, only alkaloids or active prin- 
ciples, or, at least, medicines active in small quantity, can be used. It 
must, therefore, be understood that the minimum doses only are proper 
at the outset, or until the patient's physiological capabilities are known. 

Put up in cylindrical tubes, convenient for carrying in Hypodermic- or 
Pocket-Case, ten tubes in a box, with twenty Tablets in each tube.

COMPRESSED 

OPHTHALMIC DISCS. 



At the request and under the direction of Dr. Casey A. Wood, of 
Chicago, we experimented and considered the feasibility of preparing a 
series of Ophthalmic Discs for the convenient, extemporaneous and effi- 
cient treatment of all the various affections of the eye. 

We believe Dr. Wood's attention was primarily directed to us by the 
perfection we had attained in the manufacture of our Compressed Hypo- 
dermic Tablets, which led him to suggest our manufacturing a series of 
compressed discs containing all the medicaments ordinarily used in 
ophthalmic practice. It is a source of great gratification to us that we 
finally succeeded in meeting all the exacting requirements of this eminent 
oculist, and feel assured from his commendations that we offer to the 
medical profession an adjunct to their armamentarium that for marvelous 
accuracy, perfection in manufacture and practical utility cannot be 
surpassed. 

We are under great obligations to Dr. Wood for his originating the 
idea, his suggestions and counsel in every stage of the endless experi- 
ments necessary to attain the perfection, accuracy and exactness, which 
we feel satisfied every practitioner will recognize. 

They are put up in bone boxes, with screw top, each containing fifty 
discs, and for the convenience of the trade are sold in cartons of ten 
boxes each. 

Note. — Numbers indicated thus (*) are made of gelatine, and owing 
to their hygroscopic character are supplied in glass tubes instead of bone 
boxes. Numbers indicated thus (f) we are prepared to supply either 
compressed or made of gelatine. 

Complete copies of Dr. Wood's original writings on the use oj these Discs in 
ophthalmology will be sent on application.

DISPENSARY TABLETS. 



In response to a considerable demand, we now offer the following list 
of Dispensary Tablets, designed for accurate subdivision of dosage at the 
prescription counter, and weighed and prepared with that same care 
which characterizes all operations in our laboratories, thus affording 
pharmacists a convenience in dispensing and insuring accuracy in dose. 
As a cautionary measure we are offering these tablets, all of which contain 
poisonous doses of the various drugs, in a bottle especially devised for the 
purpose and of a design calculated to at once attract the attention of the 
physician and druggist to their unusual character.

TABLETS AND PILLS. 



COMPRESSED POWDERS (or PILLS). 

It is scarcely necessary for us to state that our compressed preparations 
have met with phenomenal favor since introduced by us to medical men. 
Wherever physicians have thoroughly tested their comparative solubility 
with the ordinary pills prepared impromptu by the apothecary or by other 
manufacturers, they have been satisfied that all we say in their favor is 
deserved. Our process is by dry compression, no moisture being added. 
The ordinary manufacture of round and ovoid pills must entail the addi- 
tion of moisture and excipient to make the mass for division, the inherent 
moisture rendering the pill hard when dry. 

Aside from the above facts, the precision, accuracy of weight and 
beauty of finish, with the greater readiness with which our pills may be 
swallowed, embody advantages that we cannot overrate. 

These facts better illustrate our statemeuts as to the almost universal 
adoption of Compressed Pills by the medical profession, not only in this 
country but in Europe, and we feel that in manufacturing and advocating 
the claims of Compressed Pills we have done a real service to pharmacy 
and to the administration of medicine. 

We offer many of these pills with sugar coating ; and as a precaution, 
and to avoid all possible danger, the coating will be colored red on all 
of our pills containing very potent and active poisonous ingredients, such 
as Strychnine, Arsenic, Digitaline, Morphine, etc. 

CHOCOLATE-COATED COMPRESSED TABLETS. 

(compressed piias) 

We trust the introduction of a line of Chocolate-coated Compressed 
Tablets (Compressed Pills) will meet with the same favor that has been 
accorded to our Plain and Sugar-coated Compressed Pills, and which we 
do not hesitate to claim as one of the greatest advances in pharmacy of the 
age and a distinct innovation in the manufacture of pills. As no excipient 
enters into their composition, they do not become hard by age and are 
less liable to be affected by any climate influences. Their lenticular shape 
renders them much easier to swallow than the ordinary round pills. In 
fact, they offer so many decided advantages they must commend them- 
selves to every practitioner. 

COMPRESSED TABLET TRITURATES. 

All that has been said with reference to Compressed Powders (or Pills) 
applies as well to our Tablet Triturates, which, as will be noted, in many 
instances are of the same medication and dose as the Pills (Tablets) , but, 
being triturated with milk-sugar, are always to be preferred as being more 
efficient than the medicament itself when exhibited in the original state. 

Our Triturates are absolutely exact and keep indefinitely with little 



ii2 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

or no danger of loss ; they are convenient for administration, and, when 
more minute doses are required for infants, the Tablets may be reduced to 
a fine powder by simply crushing with a knife or the thumb-nail. 

Triturates, to be valuable therapeutically, must be made in accord- 
ance with certain well defined processes : they must contain the precise 
quantity of the medicament and must be accurate in dose ; they must be 
genuine mixtures — i. e. , the medicinal agent must be uniformly distributed 
through the whole mass ; they must be firm enough to retain their form, 
yet sufficiently friable to be reduced to a powder when moderate pressure 
is applied, and where the medicament is a soluble substance its solubility 
must be preserved. 

Having an extensive plant, designed expressly for the preparation of 
Compressed Pills, Tablet Triturates, etc., we claim, with the utmost confi- 
dence, that our Tablets conform to the most exacting standard of excel- 
lence and embody all of the essential qualities described. To effect a 
thorough admixture of the medicament with the vehicle or excipient — 
to insure that only the true dose is contained in the Tablets and that all 
are uniform in size and weight — can only be accomplished when the 
laboratory is equipped with the most complete appliances and when the 
closest attention is given to every detail .of the manipulation, and in 
addition to these essentials of the mechanical process the whole must be 
supervised and directed by the best practical experience and highest 
commercial integrity. The completeness of our laboratory equipment 
and the reputation gained for our preparations are guarantees that our 
claims will be amply sustained and that our products will bear the closest 
scrutiny. 

GELATINE-COATED PILLS. 

OVIFORM AND ROUND. 

Yielding to the general demand, we have equipped with all modern 
and improved appliances a complete laboratory for the production of 
Gelatine-coated oviform and round Mass Pills, of which, as will be noted 
in the following list, we have added to our stock a complete line. The 
process we employ insures that the pill mass shall be both homogeneous 
and of ready solubility, and our method of applying the gelatine enables 
us to produce a gelatine-coated pill free from the needle-hole which has 
always proven so-objectionable where the older methods have been em- 
ployed, thus insuring the complete preservation of the pill from atmos- 
pheric influences ; and in contrast with pills made and coated by the older 
process, our Gelatine-coated Pills will remain moist and in perfectly 
soluble condition for an indefinite period. The gelatine we employ is of 
superior quality, and, the coating being entirely transparent, we would 
suggest that our Gelatine-coated Pills be not exposed to strong sunlight, 
as otherwise discoloration or oxidation may occur where the mass consists 
wholly or in part of any of the more sensitive drugs or chemicals. 

Note;. — For the greater convenience of physicians, we have arranged 
under one heading, in alphabetical order, our lists of Compressed Tablets, 
plain and sugar-coated, Compressed Chocolate-coated Tablets, Compressed 
Tablet Triturates, and Gelatine-coated Pills ; and as facilitating their iden- 
tification, we are affixing each formula with numbers signifying the 
different forms in which the combination is offered : 

No. I as a Plain Tablet. 

No. 2 as a Sugar-coated Tablet. 

No. 3 as a Chocolate-coated Tablet. 

No. 4 as a Tablet Triturate. 

No. 5 as a Gelatine-coated Pill. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 113 

For example, the numbers 1, 3 and 5 before a certain formula signify 
that the formula is offered as a Plain and Chocolate-coated Tablet and Gela- 
tine-coated Pill. We feel this arrangement will prove more satisfactory to 
the physician in referring to the ' ' Epitome ; ' ' but kindly note the numbers 
must not, under any circumstances, be utilized when ordering, but each 
preparation should be specified under its proper title as listed in our regular 
Price Iyist. 

LIST OF TABLETS AND PILLS. 

f Pepsin, Pure lgr. 

Absorbent Dyspeptic (i)< charcoal 2gr. 

{^Sodium Bicarbonate . . . .2 1-2 gr. 

For acid stomach, flatulence, heartburn and other symptoms of 

dyspepsia. 
One or two after eating. 

Acetanilid, i, 2, 2 i-2, 3, 4 and 5 grains (1). 
Antipyretic, analgesic, antispasmodic. 

This remedy is a congener of Antipyrine, equally effective as 
an anodyne, and far more powerful as an antipyretic, although at 
the same time less free from danger, owing to its destructive action 
upon the blood. Combined with Caffeine, this action is measur- 
ably overcome, and by the addition of chemically pure Sodium 
Bicarbonate it is rendered more readily soluble. Effects are more 
prompt because of the perfect distribution of the drug throughout 
the system. 

To make certain that untoward effects will not attend the exhi- 
bition of medicinal doses, all Acetanilid combinations should be 
thoroughly dissolved in hot water, the solution being allowed to 
cool before swallowing. 

The concurrent administration of Quinine Bisulphate lessens 
the dangers from Acetanilid and likewise produces a more favor- 
able effect upon the course and manifestations of the disease. 
The dose for children ranges from one-half to two grains, and that 

for adults from two to five grains, repeated at intervals of from 

one to three hours.

This is a combination especially indicated in the abdominal type 
of the disease. Through this combination, it is said, fever is 
reduced, pain allayed and intestinal antisepsis secured. Along 
with Codeine in the early stages, with Terpin Hydrate later on, 
it seems particularly applicable to the " mixed " type.

List of Tablets and Pills. 

AnTipyrine, I, 2, 3 and 5 grains (1). 
Antipyretic. 

Notwithstanding the unfavorable reports which have been cir- 
culated concerning the dangers of Antipyrine, there is no doubt of 
its utility in influenza, provided, of course, it be given under 
proper conditions and restrictions. As it produces cyanosis, due to 
its destructive action upon the blood corpuscles, Antipyrine must 
be exhibited within certain limits, safety being the cardinal object. 
By its use, it is claimed, high temperature is reduced several 
degrees ; and in moderate doses — five to ten grains — it is said to be 
an excellent analgesic, allaying pain and thus favoring sleep, which 
is a most efficient restorative. It is clearly indicated, therefore, in 
this disease for its antipyretic and anodyne effect, although it 
cannot be said to have any influence over the course of the malady. 

Given in large doses to ' ' flabby ' ' people, or to persons suffering 
from degenerative changes, especially arterial, it is liable to produce 
untoward symptoms ; but other drugs can be given to counteract 
this effect. 
The dose ranges from five to ten, twenty or even thirty grains, 

repeated at intervals of from one to four hours, not more than a 

drachm to be given within four consecutive hours. 

ANTIPYRINE AND QuiN. SULPH. (I, 2) {Antipyrine Sgr. 

Antipyretic, antiperiodic. \ Quinine Sulph 2gr. 

Combined with Quinine, the therapeutic properties of Antipy- 
rine are augmented, while the dangers are materially lessened, 
Quinine in medicinal doses being antipyretic as well as cardiac and 
cerebral stimulant. The addition of Caffeine may also prove 
serviceable, the latter being an efficient regulator of the vaso-motor 
system, a cerebral excitant and, to a moderate extent, diuretic. 
Its disadvantages are that it produces wakefulness and ultimately 
leads to derangement of the hepatic function. 
One to two every two hours. 

Antipyrine and Sodium Saucyl. (i) \ Anli Py™ e *&■. 

{ Sodium Salicylate 2 gr.

[^Quinine Sulphate 1-U gr. 

For rhinitis, or cold in the head, coryza, or nasal cold. 

Rhinitis, or cold in the head, is of frequent occurrence in winter, 
almost every individual suffering more or less from it ; and though 
the disease is usually slight, it may be the preliminary stage of 
more serious laryngeal and bronchial affections, extending by con- 
tinuity of tissue or by the development of minute organisms. The 
tablets that we now offer as a remedy are effective when the cold 
or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat 
has developed the characteristic symptoms of redness, swelling and 
profuse watery discharge with sneezing, and will abort a threatened 
cold if taken in time. To abort a cold, the tablets may be taken at 
first at short intervals — a quarter of an hour — until three or four 
have been taken, when they should be used less frequently. It is 
well to begin their use as soon as the patient is conscious of the 
preliminary dry and painful inflammation of the nose and throat 
that marks the onset of a cold. To relieve the congestion of the 
capillaries or superficial vessels of the nasal mucous membrane 
that gives rise to the feeling of having "caught cold," Quinine and 
Camphor are the most efficient remedies. The addition of the fluid 
extract of Belladonna is intended to check the profuse catarrh and 
sneezing which soon appear in a cold, Belladonna having the well 
known property of promptly suppressing undue secretion in the

These tablets are prepared for the especial purpose of acting 
locally, quickly and pleasantly in cases of sore throat and in 
inflammatory conditions of the mouth and pharynx, such as 
stomatitis and pharyngitis. If taken properly — that is, if allowed 
to dissolve slowly in the mouth — the medicaments of which they 
are composed will soon apply themselves to the affected parts, 
imparting a cool, agreeable sensation to the inflamed mucous 
membrane. The tablets are compounded of remedies of great 
power in reducing the painful heat and dryness of sore throat and 
kindred affections and destroying the bacteria that may cause 
inflammation and purulent secretions of mouth and pharynx. 
Menthol and Eucalyptol are antiseptic and antiphlogistic, and 
diminish the pain of inflammation by stimulating the flow of 
blood from the congested capillaries. This action is completed by 
the local anodyne effect of Cocaine, which is contained in the

antiseptic, has a pleasant, soothing action on inflamed mucous 
surfaces, conducing materially to the rapid relief of the painful 
symptoms of throat affections. An agreeable taste is imparted to 
these tablets by adding the Oil of Anise. For sore throat, ordi- 
nary colds with cough, the tablets may be taken at intervals of 
half an hour until three have been administered. For stomatitis

COMPRESSED 

MEDICINAL LOZENGES. 



The cordial endorsement given by medical men to our Compressed 
Pills (Tablets) and Tablet Triturates induced us to offer a number of 
formulae as Compressed Lozenges, which, however, should not be con- 
fused with the numerous confections and pasty mixtures so much in 
vogue at one time. Our Lozenges are intended strictly and exclusively 
for medicinal purposes. They embrace all those authorized by the United 
States Pharmacopceia, the British Pharmacopoeia, the London Hospital 
for Diseases of the Throat (formulae suggested by Sir Morell Mackenzie) 
and a nnmber of unofficial but popular combinations that have long been 
recognized by the profession as standard remedial agents. 

Our long experience in manufacturing this class of products, and the 
perfection of our machinery, enable us to produce a Lozenge of exact 
weight, accuracy of dose, beauty of finish and thorough comminution of 
the active medicinal ingredients. As Lozenges are used ad libitum, we 
do not undertake to suggest definite doses excepting in a few instances.

membranes. In dyspepsia coupled with fermentative diarrhcea and 
flatulence they give speedy relief. They are also valuable for 
removing intestinal worms, and, owing to the diaphoretic proper- 
ties of the drug, will be found useful in measles, scarlatina and 
smallpox. Three to six may be taken during the day.

This lozenge is admirably adapted and effective as a remedy in 
all cases of relaxed uvula, inflamed mucous membranes and bron- 
chial tubes, ulcerated sore mouth and gums, and its local action as 
an astringent, styptic and antiseptic is most marked. Its peculiar 
styptic effect upon all mucous surfaces, particularly the fauces, 
deadens the sensibilities, thus sheathing and producing a soothing, 
calmative effect, lessening the tendency to cough and relieving the 
soreness.

This admirable combination has recently excited considerable

tages as a gentle but efficient aperient and as a convenient, pleasant 
and active remedy for habitual constipation, will be at once appar- 
ent, and it will doubtless supplant many of the active drastic pur- 
gative remedies in general use. 

One, two or three, to be slowly dissolved in the mouth soon 
after meals, will be sufficient to produce a gentle and pleasant action. 
We would suggest, in addition, that the patient, after the lozenge 
has dissolved, slowly drink a glass of water to increase the potency 
of the lozenge.

and other forms of headache. As an adjunct in the treatment of various 
infectious and contagious diseases its value is established. It soothes the 
irritation, lessens the fever and allays pain. 

Dose. — One to two grains, repeating if necessary. 



ACID BORIC, C. P. (in Impalpable Powder) 

in The treatment of otorrhcea. 

At a meeting of the State Medical Society of Pennsylvania, held at 
Titusville, Pa., in May, 1882, a paper was read by Dr. Charles S. 
Turnbu^i,, of Philadelphia, entitled, "Powdered Acid Boric in the 
Treatment of Chronic Purulent Inflammation of the Middle Ear (Otor- 
rhcea) ," from which we quote : 

"A most gratifying experience in the use of powdered acid boric in 
the treatment of chronic purulent inflammation of the tympanal mucous 
membrane, the constant symptom of which is otorrhoea, has induced me 
to consider the antiseptic, or what might be more accurately termed the 
dry method of treatment. The marked success that I have met with 
induces me to advocate its use in this most frequent form (in this country) 
of aural disease. 

"Anything new in therapeutics, especially as a means of combating 
that most frequent of aural symptoms, 'otorrhcea,' must call for imme- 
diate and specific attention, not only on account of its practical worth, 
but also for the greater power it gives every physician to control — yes, 
cure — what hitherto has been generally considered an incurable (symptom 
of a) disease of the middle ear. 

" Chronic purulent inflammation of the middle ear continues its work 
of destruction year in and year out, gradually corroding the contents of 
the middle ear and seriously compromising the functions of its appen- 
dages. Upon these delicate parts, covered by an inflamed or ulcerated 
mucous membrane (which, it must be remembered, acts the part of the 
periosteum), all sorts of foreign material collect, and these, with the 

13

added irritation from fermenting discharges (caused by the high tempera- 
ture of the parts, collections of bacteria, etc.) , increase the fire of inflam- 
mation, which burns fiercely, and the mucous membrane, in defence of 
itself, pours out a copious secretion. 

"To remedy these affections general surgery has done little, so that in 
many instances medical men are glad to get rid of ' patients with running 
ears,' and this, added to the prejudices in the minds of the community at 
large, and in some of the profession, too, as to the injurious effect of 
healing or ' drying up,' as it is termed, discharges from the ear, has 
caused this affection, through ignorance or apathy, to be much neglected. 

" Bezoi,d conceived the idea that acid boric had failed on account of 
the powder used. He therefore procured acid boric in an impalpable 
powder and, when he began packing the meatus tightly with it, obtained 
excellent results. 

"Since Bezold's paper, Buckner speaks highly of the powdered 
acid in the otorrhceas, and Dr. J. O. Green also recommended Bezoi,d's 
treatment, which he had used extensively in the meantime. 

" From that time to the present, with but few exceptions, the treat- 
ment recommended by Bezoijj and Green was given a trial ; but, 
although Pomtzer, of Vienna, recommended it highly, and Casseli^S, 
of Glasgow, did the same thing, no one was satisfied that the plan of 
treatment was particularly efficacious or to be preferred to many others. 

"The great mistake, as I have discovered, was in the fact of many 
experimenters not having observed Bezoi,d's instructions — namely, that 
the acid boric must be nicely powdered. 

' ' The ear is not to be syringed at all ; it should be cleansed with 
absorbent cotton. 

"According to the character of the intratympanal secretion am I 
guided in the introduction of the antiseptic powder ; hence especial note 
must be made of the exact variety of the discharge as regards color, odor, 
consistency, etc. 

"As the cleansing procedure is more or less apt to provoke reflex 
coughing, it must be gently and carefully done ; in fact, the successful 
treatment of any case greatly depends upon the method of cleansing the 
meatus. If it be carelessly done, more discharge is provoked, and an 
artificial eczema, aggravated by the powder used, defeats the objects 
sought by a thorough cleansing. The powder is to be poured into the 
speculum ad libitum. A little will drop through, but the bulk of the 
powder will remain in the speculum, and this will require displacing and 
packing. To hold the speculum still and pack down the powder without 
causing pain from the edges of the speculum is no easy procedure. Force 
cannot be employed because by the pressure the edges of the speculum 
will cut; then, too, and suddenly, the mass moves, and whatever is used 
to thrust it down is apt to impinge, with more or less force, upon the 
delicate parts beneath. I use a thin steel probe with the point (about one 
line) bent at a right angle, and whilst the auricle and speculum are held 
immovable, the parts being illuminated with the head mirror (the head 
of patient unmoved from first position) , I hug the inside wall of the 
speculum, and so can always tell when I am down to its lower orifice. As 
the powder is filled into the meatus through the speculum, it is packed, 
layer upon layer, not tightly but firmly; rceanwhile, I gradually with- 
draw the speculum until it reaches the mouth of the meatus. Here I 
insert a light pledget of cotton, only to be worn for six or eight hours 
(until bedtime) , and then to be withdrawn and not again introduced. 

" My directions to my patients are to permit, in fact, endeavor to have, 
all the powder possible remain within the meatus. If any moisture be 
felt, sop (that is, wipe by pressing) the mass, and soak out the discharge 
with absorbent cotton or dry thin linen, but do not disturb the powder. 



Kindly specify "Wyeth'S" when prescribing. 195 

From the moment this agent is used all odor, even from the most fetid 
discharges, ceases, and, unless the discharge be extraordinarily profuse, 
never returns. No reaction ensues if filled- into the meatus as I have 
directed. 

" Of course, the mechanical deafness caused by the foreign mass in 
the meatus was sometimes complained of, but this was gladly endured 
when explained as only of a temporary nature. 

"Oftentimes one packing was enough. In other cases the packed 
powder was washed out, by discharge, in a few days ; but I persevered, 
and have always been rewarded for my trouble in filling and repacking. 
If the discharge ceases and leaves a hardened mass or powder, etc., filling 
the meatus, it must be removed, but not by force nor by syringing. It 
must be softened by the instillation of warm fluid cosmoline (petroleol) , 
which has the charming recommendation of not becoming rancid by 
heat, etc. I have been compelled to require my patients for whom the 
powdered acid boric has been prescribed to bring with them the substance 
procured for inspection, since druggists, as a rule, unless according to 
special agreement, dispense a powder, so called, composed for the greater 
part of crystals of the acid. "When properly powdered, no particles can 
be felt, and in dipping the finger into such a mass the sensation can 
hardly be said to be that of touch ; the impression is that of powdered 
soapstone, such as is used by glove- and shoemakers." 



ALKA-THYPTOL. 

(LIQUOR EUCALYPTUS COMP.— ALKALINE.) 

This preparation represents the purified active principles of Eucalyp- 
tus, Mentha Arvensis, Thyme, Gaultheria, in combination with Sodium 
Biborate, Sodium Benzoate and Glycerine. 

Alka-Thyptol is intended solely for the convenience and use of the 
physician, surgeon, dentist and all specialists, and, being of an alkaline 
reaction, it is particularly adapted to meet the requirements of those 
physicians engaged in nose and throat work as a specialty. 

The indications for Alka-Thyptol are the same as for Thyptol, as the 
two preparations are similar, with the exception that the Alka-Thyptol is 
alkaline, while the Thyptol is acid. 



AMYLOPSIN— ANIMAL DIASTASE. 

Possibly no form of indigestion has proved more troublesome or more 
common than that known as amylaceous dyspepsia, arising from an 
inability to digest the starchy elements of food, and which is not relieved 
by any of the various preparations of pepsin, the physician requiring in 
such cases an agent acting directly upon the excess of starchy matter, the 
most effective form of which agent is to be found in the starch-converting 
ferment of the pancreatic juice obtained from the pig and other domestic 
animals. 

This principle, known as Animal Diastase (Amylopsin) , which we 
have succeeded in isolating and offer to the medical profession in an 
available form, promises to occupy a most important place in physiologic 
medication, as it acts exclusively upon amylaceous substances and is 
the substance provided by nature for the purpose of digesting starch, 
and when properly prepared and purified, as with our product, will con- 
vert the starchy portions of food (bread, potatoes, etc.) into sugar and 



196 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

dextrine, which are readily soluble and consequently in a form capable 
of being immediately assimilated. 

Hyperacidity of the digestive tract is a common condition, depending 
largely upon the character of food taken and following an excessive pro- 
portion of carbohydrates, resulting in the presence in the system of a 
superabundance of acids — lactic, acetic, succinic — together with ethylic 
alcohol; but as it is not advisable, except in rare instances, that these 
carbohydrates should be eliminated from the dietary, the physician is 
confronted with the necessity of supplying a medicament which shall aid 
in converting and preparing this excess of carbohydrates for assimilation, 
and with this Animal Diastase, or Amylopsin, at hand the patient may 
be given starchy food products in moderation, with a reasonable assurance 
of decided benefit, and that little difficulty will be experienced in the way 
of intestinal or amylaceous indigestion. 

While Diastase has been exploited in various forms, and this product 
(Amylopsin) resembles in many respects that form obtained from barley, 
Animal Diastase will be found infinitely preferable for administration on 
account of its animal origin and the fact that its amyloptic activity remains 
unimpaired by age, while Vegetable Diastase, unless, recently prepared, is 
of uncertain value. 

For convenience of administration , we have prepared Animal Diastase 
in the form of Powder-Capsules of two and one-half and five grains each 
and in tablets of two grains each, a dose of which will give almost imme- 
diate relief from that discomfort frequently experienced after eating hot 
biscuits, cakes, waffles, etc. , and should be taken immediately after meals ; 
for children, one-half this quantity should be given. 

One-half a tablet, crushed and mixed with a small quantity of water 
or milk, will be found of great service to infants being fed upon the 
various infant foods so largely used, nearly all of which contain large 
quantities of starch and are difficult of digestion in certain cases, the 
Amylopsin to be added only when there is evidence that a portion of the 
food has remained undigested. 



ANTI-RHEUMATIC TABLETS (Effervescing). 

(potassium and wthium salicylates) 1 

Each tablet contains 3 1-2 grains of the combined salts in proper proportions. 

The excellence of acid salicylic and the salicylates as remedies for 
gout and rheumatism — as antipyretics and anodynes — is now so well 
established that they are almost universally held to be specifics. But the 
use of these medicaments (especially acid salicylic) in suitable doses has 
hitherto not been free, in a certain number of cases, from effects unpleas- 
ant enough in very delicate subjects to render any adequate treatment by 
such means impracticable, or at least disagreeable. It is true that these 
effects (ringing in the ears, gastric disturbances) are chiefly the result of 
the use of acid salicylic alone. The salts are not nearly so objectionable 
in this regard except in a very few cases, where there must be unusual 
susceptibility. They have, besides, some merits which the acid does not 
possess, are milder in action with as much power, seeming to combine 
the strength of a specific remedy with the agreeable properties of the 
alkaline elements.

In these effervescing tablets we have, we believe, adopted a means 
of minimizing the objection just referred to. Acid carbonic, which is an 
ingredient of their composition, has a sedative influence upon the diges- 
tive organs. It renders the assimilation of these salts easy and effective, 
and controls the irritant action of any portion of acid salicylic set free 
during digestion by neutralizing an excess. This excess is to be avoided, 
if possible, for it is almost certain that the ringing in the ears is directly 
caused by too large quantities of acid salicylic entering the blood current 
in a short space of time and finding their way to the auditory centres. 

It is, however, not solely on this account that we have thought it best 
to unite the salicylates, in an effervescing mixture, with acid carbonic. 
A tablet so prepared, dropped in a little water, effervesces briskly, making 
a sparkling draught that, besides possessing the various useful properties 
just mentioned, is easy for the most susceptible to take. In this way, too, 
the dosage (always a matter of precision if good results with the salicy- 
lates are to be certain) can be conveniently and exactly regulated. In 
rheumatism and gout two of these tablets should be given every two 
hours. In cases of fever and pain it is best to take several at the very 
beginning of the attack, or one at short intervals, until the trouble sub- 
sides. It is well known, of course, that to prevent relapses in acute 
rheumatism the remedy must not be at once discontinued when the joint 
affection ceases, but should be given continuously for several days until 
the possibility of a recurrence of the malady is over. 

As regards the value of the salicylates in gout and rheumatism, med- 
ical men are practically of one opinion. " It would be superfluous," says 
Prof. VuivPiAN, of Paris, in his "Essais" on these salts, "to add that 
they are efficacious in acute articular rheumatism and in gout, as there is 
complete unanimity on this point among physicians." {Bull, de Thera- 
peutique, t. c, p. 97.) Another high authority says, "Stricker, having 
first proclaimed the specific powers of acid salicylic in rheumatism, was 
immediately supported by the concurrent opinions of other physicians " — 
Leonhardi-Aster, Baelz, Cavafy, Talfourd Jones, Clark, of New 
York — all of whom signalized the remarkable action of this medicament 
in rheumatic and gouty affections. With regard to the sodium salicylate, 
the facts reported by SEE, Oui,mont, Hardy, Jaccoud, Gueneau de 
Mussy and numerous others are absolutely unchallenged. The rapid and 
almost certain action of this salt in relieving the pain of rheumatism, the 
disease of the joints, renders its power indisputable. This remedy is a 
specific for acute articular rheumatism. (Dujardin-Beaumetz, Did. de 
Therapeutique, t. iv, p. 513.) Lastly, their opinions are shared by the 
greatest names in contemporary medical science— by Senator {Berliner 
kl. Wochenschrift, 1875, P- 460) , Schmiedeberg {Arzneimittellehre, 
p. 120) , Brunton {Pharmacology and Therapeutics, p. 629) , Strumpeli, 
{Practice, p. 908). 

The remarkable efficacy, in truth, of the salicylates is not alone due 
to their power to reduce fever and allay pain, but to a property, possessed 
more especially by these salts and the iodides, of rapidly finding their 
way into the tissues and fluid and serous cavities (joints, pleura, perito- 
neum) , so that the disease, if it be in such parts, is attacked in its most 
intricate recesses. In truth, soon after the dose is taken, it is possible to 
find a large portion of it in the fluid and tissues of the joints and pleura, 
a fact conclusively demonstrated by Leuch {Centralblatt fur kl. Medicin, 
1890, p. 833) and by Prof. Rosenbach {Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1890, 
p. 813). This is a fortunate property, for rheumatism, as nobody doubts 
to-day, is a zymotic disease, that is, caused by a germ ; and in order to 
extirpate such a malady from the system it is necessary to bring the dis- 
ease and its remedy into intimate contact. According to Prof. VuivPiAN, 
the salicylates, without being strictly speaking antiseptics, possess some 



198 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

especial power in destroying the rheumatic poison, though it is not known 
on what properties this power depends. The fact, however, as Prof. 
Senator says, is well established in practice. (Loc. cit., p. 461.) The 
various salicylates have much the same properties one as another, except 
that the Lithium salt seems to succeed better in old cases of rheumatism 
and in gonorrhceal rheumatism, a very troublesome form. {Comptes- 
rendus de V Acad., 1886.). Prof. SEE succeeded with these salts in that 
most obstinate rheumatic affection, rheumatoid arthritis difformans, 
which, as has been shown recently, has its peculiar germ. {Bull, de 
V Acad.de Med., t. xlii, p. 736.) He, as well as others, likewise tried 
them successfully in acute inflammatory rheumatism, in lumbago (in 
which they are admirable remedies) , in chorea, gout, acute and chronic 
neuralgia of various kinds, and in cystitis. His conclusions are as follows : 

1. The cessation of pain in rheumatic inflammation took place in from 
ten to twelve hours, this phenomenon being constant. 

2. In the joints the disease yields in from one to three days. 

3. Movement in the limbs returns on the third day. 

4. The fever diminishes with the pain. 

The febrifuge properties of the salicylates are very remarkable. Hence 
their successful use not only in acute rheumatism, but in general fevers as 
well— typhoid, intermittent, the hectic of phthisis, etc. Senator reports 
fifty cases of the last kind, in which a salicylate did distinct good. In 
ten cases of intermittent fever he obtained even better results. The 
salicylates are well borne by children and have been successfully tried 
in the intermittent of childhood by Zielewicz, who reports two hundred 
and fifty cases. {Deutsche Med. Wochenschrift, 41, 1879.) 

In addition to their febrifuge properties the salicylates facilitate the 
excretion of bile and render it of thinner consistence. They tend, there- 
fore, to prevent the formation of gall-stones. They have been used 
advantageously by Dr. Sabocedo, of Havana, in yellow fever. As they 
likewise prevent the excretion of sugar by the liver, they are often of 
great value in diabetes. {Union Medicate, 1881 ; Haig, St. Bartholomew's 
Hospital Reports, 1889.) 

In relieving pain the salicylates are not only efficient but safe. Prof. 
SEE has employed them with marked success in the pains of locomotor 
ataxia. They are very useful in migraine (BrunTOn), in neuralgia, in 
sciatica and tic douloureux. They have also been recommended by two 
eminent gynaecologists — BaTELLE and SabaTouski — in dysmenorrhcea, 
an affection in which, a priori, they might be supposed efficacious. 

The lithium salicylate, besides being as efficacious in gout and rheu- 
matism as the other salicylates, is particularly valuable in catarrh of the 
urinary organs. In these cases it has a marked effect in diminishing the 
fetidity of the urine, in relieving pain, and in increasing the excretion 
of nitrogenous products. In gout it is eminently indicated in cases where 
the attacks are presumably due to a condition of" this kind, to the so-called 
uric-acid diathesis, or the tendency on the part of the organism to accu- 
mulate nitrogen in excessive quantities in the blood. In cases of rheu- 
matism of an obstinate type the lithium salicylate is believed by Prof. 
Vui<pian to be superior to the others. {Bull, de I' Acad., 1886, xiv.) There 
are some interesting empirical uses of these salts reported from various 
sources. For instance, Dr. Abbott, of Boston, has cured by their means 
a case of pericarditis supervening on inflammatory rheumatism {Boston 
Med. and Surg. Journal, 1886) ; Dr. Theobald, of Baltimore, cites a case 
in which the salicylates brought about in a few days a cure of plastic 
iritis of rheumatic origin {Maryland Med. Journal, 1886) ; a French 
physician reports three cases of ophthalmic neuralgia in which, under 
two-grain doses of these salts, the pain rapidly ceased {Nouveaux Re- 
m&des, p. 117, 1880) . It might be added that the salicylates are indicated 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 199 

in gastro-intestinal catarrh and certain forms of dyspepsia — namely, that 
of gouty origin. In the latter it has been used with good results by Prof. 
Gubler and others. 

From the foregoing observations it is clear that the applications of 
acid salicylic and the sodium salicylate to the treatment of rheumatic, 
gouty and other morbid states are attested by an immense clinical ex- 
perience. In the combination now submitted to the profession we avail 
ourselves of the superior qualities of the potassium and lithium bases. 
The potassium salicylate and the lithium salicylate, as combined with 
an effervescing salt, especially, are more effective as remedies, as they are 
more pleasing in administration than the sodium salicylate. A potassium 
salt is more diffusible than a corresponding sodium salt ; more important 
still, it has far greater diuretic property, as it has far more power to secure 
excretion of the unoxidized products of the retrograde nitrogenous meta- 
morphosis. In the passage ot the potassium and sodium salts respectively 
through the kidneys, it is well known that the sodium combinations are 
less soluble, and therefore escape less readily, while they tend more greatly 
to form concretions. On the other hand, the potassium combinations are 
readily soluble, and as they increase the outward flow of urine, tend to 
dilute it and flush out the urinary passages. These considerations, there- 
fore, justify us in substituting the potassium combination for the sodium 
and in claiming for it superior utility. 

Since the time of Garrod, who first made known the antirheumatic 
quality of lithium, the salts of this base have been much employed in 
the treatment of rheumatic and gouty affections and in cases where a 
more abundant excretion of the products of nitrogenous waste was de- 
sired. As the local deposition of sodium urate is one of the essential 
conditions of the gouty attack, so it is necessary to the most successful 
employment of acid salicylic and its congeners that they be combined 
with potassium and lithium bases. The lithium base has, since 
Garrod'S time, been the most popular of the combinations, because of 
its greater diuretic property, its higher oxidizing power, and superior 
secretory activity. 

In the combination of the potassium and lithium salicylates with an 
effervescing mixture, we secure their solution in water as the acid car- 
bonic is liberated from its association with a base. The presence of the 
gas in its nascent state promotes the action of the salicylates, while it 
favors the reception and facilitates the absorption of acid and bases. 
It follows from these considerations that our combination of Potassium 
and Lithium Salicylates, in the form now offered to the profession, pre- 
sents many advantages over the sodium salicylate, or over other acids 
and bases, notwithstanding, as we have fully stated, the sodium salt has 
occupied so large a space in the therapeutical expedients applied in the 
treatment of the various affections to which they are adapted. 

Directions for USE. — In attacks of acute rheumatism or gout two or 
three tablets should be taken every two, three or four hours, according to 
the severity of the joint pain and inflammation and the range of tempera- 
ture. To prevent attacks of these affections, or to lessen excessive 
acidity of the urine, or to act as diuretics in various inflammatory 
diseases alluded to above, or to secure dilution of the urine and maintain 
a neutral or alkaline state of this secretion in chronic or Bright's disease, 
two or three tablets may be taken, dissolved in sufficient water, three 
times a day. The degree of dilution in water should be determined in 
part by the particular object in view. For the treatment of such acute 
affections as rheumatism and gout, only the quantity of water to secure 
the necessary ease of administration may be made use of ; but when the 
acidity of the urine is to be lessened, or an active diuretic action is to be 
secured, the proportion of water should be considerably larger.

ANTISEPTIC CONES. 

ANTISEPTIC, ANODYNE. 

AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR LOCAL APPLICATIONS TO ALLAY THE IN- 
FLAMMATION AND IRRITATION CAUSED BY THE BITE AND STING 
OF MOSQUITOES, FLIES, GNATS, ETC. 

Recognizing a universal need during the summer months in all northern 
countries, and during almost the entire year in southern climates, of a 
remedy in convenient, clean and compact form which will quickly and 
effectually allay all poisonous, irritating and smarting effect caused by 
the bites and stings of gnats, flies, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, fleas, spiders 
and, in fact, the innumerable list of insects which attack the human 
family, we have prepared this cone — composed of such chemicals, germi- 
cides, antiseptics and anodynes as are well known to be repulsive and 
antagonistic to this class of pests. 

The cones are particularly designed to rapidly and effectually allay 
the irritation and swelling of the surfaces after one has been bitten or 
stung, and to counteract the poisonous effect, which in many cases 
develops into very serious and painful sores, frequently leading to blood- 
poisoning ; or they will subdue in a moment, by one or two thorough 
applications, that annoying irritation and swelling caused by a mosquito 
bite, relieving one of the persistent desire to scratch and further inflame 
the surfaces. A light application of the cone to the face, neck and hands 
will prove almost a perfect barrier to their attacks. 

These cones contain the best known non-poisonous antiseptics in 
combination with anodynes and healing remedies, also such chemical 
insecticides as will repel further attacks. The cones can be carried about 
one's person without danger of melting or of soiling the clothing, and 
thus always be at hand for immediate application. The cones are in no 
sense caustic or corrosive and are not injurious to the skin, no matter 
how frequently or extensively they are used or how thoroughly rubbed 
into the surfaces. 

Apart from their convenience and cleanliness they are more effi- 
cacious and speedy in their action than any of the well-known reme- 
dies, such as aqua ammonia, camphor, witch hazel, ointments, lotions, 
oils, etc. 

Below are a few directions for application and use ; but the many 
opportunities when they could be used with gratifying results, in relief 
and comfort from the many irritations of the skin, are so great that we 
will not endeavor to enumerate them. 

Directions. — Rub the affected parts thoroughly ; repeat as often as 
may be necessary. To prevent the attacks of insects, the exposed parts 
— face, arms, hands, etc. — can be rubbed lightly. 

The eruption caused by contact with poison ivy, poison oak or other 
poisonous plants, its irritation and spread, can be quickly subdued 
by frequent applications of the cone. It will also allay the pain of, 
and assist in healing, scratches caused by briars, thorns, cacti, wire- 
grass, etc. 

On rubbing the cone over the affected part a sense of coolness, 
followed by a slight smarting, is experienced ; in a few minutes the 
sensation is dissipated, and usually the pain dissappears. It is perfectly 
harmless, and can be used with safety on any part of the body. 

When the cone is not in use, keep the holder tightly closed, otherwise 
the volatile nature of the cone will cause it to evaporate quickly.

ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION. 

This solution represents in proportionate combination the purified active 
principles of Thyme, Eucalyptus, Gaultheria , Mentha Arvensis and 
Baptisia Tinctoria, with sixteen grains of Acid Benzo-Boric and three 
grains of Acetanilid in each fluidounce. 

Antiseptics possess the property of checking the origin and vital force 
of putrefactive processes — controlling those tendencies which convert 
organic material into deleterious products — the main uses being to protect 
the human body, both internally and externally, from causes which 
operate in a manner detrimental to life. Sanitation and hygiene have 
been greatly aided by the investigation of science and by a more exact 
knowledge of the operation of those agencies which are the fertile sources 
of contamination of air, water and food. The use of antiseptics may be 
said to promote cleanliness by establishing a greater power of resistance 
against opposing forces. To adapt this class of agents to the needs of 
our every-day life we must select those which are of vegetable origin and 
possess no corrosive property — such as can be freely used upon the skin, 
upon the internal parts of the body, and for the various purposes of toilet 
sanitation. Whilst the properties of these substances are positive in their 
character, they possess the additional advantage of being absolutely harm- 
less. We may use them also as effective, agreeable deodorants, substi- 
tuting the pleasing aroma of plants for the irritating and noxious fumes 
and gases of highly charged chemical disinfectants. They supply, also, 
balsamic and protecting lotions to wounds, sores, and eruptive processes, 
and greatly aid minor surgery in some of its most important operations. 

Our Antiseptic Solution combines all of the most valuable antisep- 
tics of the vegetable Materia Medica. With Thyme, Eucalyptus, Gaul- 
theria, Mentha Arvensis, Baptisia Tinctoria, we combine both Acid Benzo- 
Boric and Acetanilid, which are most valuable on account of their highly 
detergent and healing as well as antiseptic qualities. It will be seen that 
the applicability of this Antiseptic Solution extends to a multitude of 
useful purposes, medical and domestic : the operations of surgery, for 
instance ; in obstetrics and the gynaecological service ; as an application 
to all mucous surfaces ; in catarrhs of the throat, stomach and nasal 
cavities ; in the discharges of leucorrhcea and gonorrhoea ; as a deodorant 
in the emanations of fever, typhoid and others ; in the ulcers and aphthae 
of sore mouth ; in controlling the fetor of excretions, checking fermenta- 
tive dyspepsia, modifying diarrhceal and dysenteric discharge ; in all the 
operations of dentistry, and in the conditions which arise from ordinary 
and excessive caries of the teeth ; in brief, in all the numerous needs 
which fall to the daily experience of the physician and to the observation 
of the individual. It yields its properties to the senses, and differs from 
many so-called similars in not being so completely enfeebled by dilution 
as to be almost odorless and comparatively useless. Its use may be indi- 
cated as follows : 

For The Surgeon. — It may be used freely in solution or in full 
strength for its antiseptic and detergent properties in cases of wounds, 
contusions, abscesses, open sores, indolent ulcers, etc., and always as a 
surgical dressing. 

For The Physician — Given in teaspoonful doses, diluted with water, 
this solution will be found effective in relieving the symptoms of gastric 
and intestinal irritation — catarrh, indigestion, flatulency , headache, etc. 
It may also be employed as a vehicle for the administration of other indi- 
cated remedies, and as an inhalant in all throat and lung affections. 

For THE Dentist. — Combining antiseptic and deodorant properties, 



202 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

and possessing an agreeable aromatic odor, it must prove an acceptable 
medicament for dental operations, and as a mouth-wash a?id gargle. 

For the Household. — It will be found a desirable household rem- 
edy ; being perfectly harmless and producing a fragrant odor throughout 
the house, it is adapted to a multiplicity of uses. In all cases of illness its 
great value will be readily appreciated in the sick-room. 

Administration. — The dose for an adult is one teaspoonful diluted 
with water, and this dose may be repeated at intervals of one to four 
hours, according to the directions of the attending physician. For 
inhalation, one or two tablespoonfuls are placed in hot water in a suitable 
vessel. For local use it may be used with hot water in the proportion of 
one to four. 

ANTISEPTIC TABLETS— ALKALINE. 

Each tablet contains Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Biborate, Sodium 
Benzoate, Sodium Salicylate, Sodium Chloride, Eucalyptol, Thymol, 
Menthol, Oil Wintergreen. 

Directions. — Dissolve one tablet in two fluidounces of warm water, 
and use as a spray or wash, to be sniffed up the nose by the patient morn- 
ing and night. 

This admirable combination has given such marked relief in so many 
cases of nasal catarrh and its complications that we have been induced 
to put up the solid ingredients in the form of solid tablets, so that the 
physician can direct his patient intelligently how to use them, and at the 
same time enable him to have the means, at all times, of preparing a 
perfectly fresh solution. 

The solution, as prepared from these tablets, has also been found 
very agreeable and beneficial as a mouth wash, in cases of stomatitis and 
retraction of the gums, etc. It may also be used with benefit as a disin- 
fecting and antiseptic cleansing wash for other mucous surfaces than the 
nasal mucous membrane. It is particularly useful in cases of dry catarrh 
with ozcena, as it destroys the disagreeable odor better than any other 
combination.

Mercury cyanide possesses all the derirable properties of the bichloride 
salt, but is devoid of its many objectionable features. It exerts no corrod- 
ing or deleterious effect upon the most delicate instruments and preserves 
the integument of the hands of the operator and nurse in a soft and clean 
condition. Clinical trial has conclusively proven that its toxicity is no 
greater, and in all probability far less, than that of mercury bichloride.

Dr. WH.SON says (Medical News, Philadelphia, December 27, 1884), 
"To those medical men who desire to use this, the safest and best anti- 
septic agent, the tablets will prove of great use. They save the carrying 
about of bulky solutions ; they make a solution which is mathematically 
correct as to its strength ; they eliminate an element of danger, because 
the physician can carry the tablets about with him, making and using 
the solution when required, and throwing the unused portion away, thus 
avoiding the necessity of leaving a dangerous poison in the hands of 
irresponsible or ignorant people, or the necessity of bringing his solution 
at each visit ; they will also be of use as a means of preparing disinfectant 
solutions, as a large amount of disinfecting material can be obtained in 
this way in a compact form." 



204 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when presmbing. 

Bach tablet contains the requisite amount of corrosive sublimate to 
make a i to iooo solution when added to a pint of water, which is the 
ordinary strength employed. For vaginal douching, urethral injections, 
etc., 1-2000 is the proper strength. By increasing or diminishing the 
amount of water, the strength of the solution may be altered at pleasure. 
For example : 

One tablet to Oss = i in 500 

One tablet to Oj = 1 in 1000 

One tablet to Oiss = 1 in 1500 

Elaborate experiments conducted by Drs. ArloinG, Cornevin and 
Thomas, at Lyons, France, and by Dr. Koch, at Berlin, and Dr. Stern- 
berg, of the U. S. A., prove that corrosive sublimate is the most efficient 
gertnicitic agent known, an aqueous solution of one part to five thousand 
being capable of destroying the resting-spores of bacilli, which are the 
most difficult of all forms of life to destroy. Hence these tablets give us 
one of the easiest and best methods of destroying typhoid-fever stools 
and preventing contagion. As a disinfectant, the solution possesses the 
great advantage of having no odor.

tion. It is a powerful antiseptic, bactericide and alterative, devoid of 
irritating properties, and possesses to an unusual degree the power of 
penetrating the mucous membrane, which renders the salt exceptionally 
valuable in local treatment for urethritis, ulcers and affections of the eye, 
nose and throat.

affections of the respiratory organs. 

It is of the utmost importance that persons using them should inhale 
the smoke — that is, cause it to pass down to the lungs and air passages. 
This may be easily effected, after one or two trials, by drawing in the 
breath with the mouth full of smoke, then closing the mouth and respir- 
ing by the nostrils. This should be repeated as often as necessary until 
relief is obtained.

BEEF EXTRACT, LIQUID. 

FOR THE RAPID AND CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF THE FINEST SOUPS. 
A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR STOCK. 

Every housekeeper will recognize how invaluable a well-made con- 
somme' or other clear soup is to a dinner — increasing the appetite, stimu- 
lating the digestive organs, and giving greater zest to the meal — yet 
experience teaches us how seldom even quite good cooks prepare them 
satisfactorily. 

Appreciating what a boon, and how largely a beef-stock would be used 
— when assured it was made from choice portions of the beef, free from \ 
gelatine, unsurpassed in purity and delicacy of flavor — we have succeeded, 
after exhaustive and careful experiments, in preparing a Liquid Extract 
of Beef critically embracing all these essentials, aided, by appliances and 
machinery necessary to insure not only the pure flavor of the beef, but 
containing in solution all the soluble nutrient salts, not possible with 
ordinary domestic utensils. The Liquid Extract of Beef, as manufac- 
tured by us, we believe, embodies every advantage claimed — purity, 
convenience, delicacy of flavor, with economy. We select only the fresh- 
est and finest parts of the bullock for use in this preparation, and soups, 
gravies and sauces made from our Liquid Extract of Beef will be found 
superior to those prepared by the most celebrated chefs. 

It will be found to possess all the flavor and strength of the finest beef, 
in a most concentrated form, and by its use all the highly-prized bouillons 
and consommes can be made in from three to five minutes, with very 
little trouble. 

As a basis for making soups of every variety, aspic jelly, sauces, 
gravies, etc., our Liquid Extract of Beef cannot be excelled by that made 
by the most experienced cooks, and is in every way superior to any of 
the so-called extracts of beef or preparations of beef to be found in the 
market. 

Owing to its extreme concentration, it will be found invaluable for 
tourists and travellers, camping-parties, etc., as it occupies but little 
space and requires only the addition of boiling water, pepper and salt to 
make a very palatable beef-tea or bouillon, which will be found to be the 
most refreshing drink obtainable when fatigued from over-exertion, etc. 

BEEF, IRON AND WINE. 

Each tablespoonful contains all the soluble salts of one ounce of prime lean 
Beef, two grains of Iron and Ammonium Citrate, and one-half ounce 
of matured Sherry Wine of the best quality, pleasantly favored and 
aromatized. 

In this preparation are combined the stimulant properties of wine 
and the nutriment of beef with the tonic powers of iron, the effect 
of which, on the blood, is so justly valued. For many cases in which 
there are pallor, weakness, palpitation of the heart, with much nervous 
disturbance — as, for example, where there has been much loss of blood, 
or during the recovery from wasting fevers — this article will be found 
especially adapted. The peculiar feature of this combination is that it 
combines nutriment with stimulus. 

In the majority of cases, along with failure of strength, and indeed as 
one cause of that failure, there is an inability to digest nourishing food. 
Hence it is very desirable to furnish nourishment in a form acceptable 
to the stomach at the same time we excite this organ to action. On 
the other hand, wine stimulus, although needed, is ill borne if given by 



206 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

itselt, producing headache, excitement and other symptoms, which may 
be avoided by the addition of nutritious substance, such as the essence 
of beef. 

Iron, also, can be taken in this way by the most delicate or sensitive 
woman or child, to whom it may be inadmissible as usually given. 
Prompt results will follow its use in cases of sudden exhaustion arising 
either from acute or chronic diseases, and it will prove a valuable restor- 
ative for all convalescents. 

As a nutritive tonic, it would be indicated in the treatment of impaired 
nutrition, impoverishment of the blood, and in all of the various forms of 
general debility. Each tablespoonful contains the essence of one ounce 
of beef, with two grains of citrate of iron, dissolved in Sherry wine. 
With a view of making the article more palatable, a portion of the beef 
is, in the first place, partially roasted, as experience has shown that it is 
better borne by the stomach, and can be administered for a longer period 
when this is done. 

We trust physicians will be careful to direct our manufacture of Beef, 
Iron and Wine, as numbers of persons make mixtures called by the same 
name and claiming equal merit. We can only say, the reputation of this 
medicine was created by our preparation, and it is almost exclusively 
prescribed by our leading physicians. 

Dose — For adults, one tablespoonful between meals and when suffer- 
ing from fatigue or exhaustion. For children the dose should be reduced 
according to age. 

BEEF, IRON, WINE AND CINCHONA. 

Beef, Iron and Wine, with ten grains Cinchona in each dessertspoonful. 

The addition of Cinchona makes this an exceptionally fine tonic and 
stimulant, particularly beneficial in cases where there is general debility 
or indications of a malarial condition. As a tonic during the changes of 
the seasons, spring and fall, it is especially desirable, preventing that 
lassitude and languor incident to climatic changes. 



BEEF JUICE. 

A LIQUID PREPARATION OP THE CHOICEST BEEP, CONTAINING THE 
NUTRITIOUS ALBUMINOUS PRINCIPLES IN AN UNALTERED AND SOL- 
UBLE FORM. 

It is now, we think, generally recognized among physicians that beef 
extracts made by the Liebig process are utterly devoid of the valuable 
and nutritious albuminous constituents of meat, as these are coagulated 
and filtered out in the process of manufacture ; and, in consequence, the 
most advanced medical practitioners to-day employ the commercial ex- 
tract of meat only as a stimulant, fully realizing that it possesses no real 
nutritious properties. Recognizing this fact, we have, after continued 
and exhaustive experiments, succeeded in preparing the article which we 
offer as Wyeth's Beef Juice, for which we make the following claims : 

First. — That it contains all the albuminous principles of beef in an 
active and soluble form, which fact may be readily demonstrated by mix- 
ing a small portion with an equal part of water in a test-tube or any con- 
venient vessel, and gradually heating to the boiling point, when the 
albuminous principles will be coagulated. 

Second. — That it contains the haemoglobin of the meat unaltered, as 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 207 

is evidenced by the bright arterial color of the preparation, and by the 
fact that it loses this color upon boiling, the haemoglobin being precipi- 
tated- with the albumin. 

Third. — Clinical experience will demonstrate conclusively that this 
Beef Juice possesses the nutritive properties of the choicest beef to a 
higher degree than any extract of meat yet offered to the profession. 

Physicians will find Wyeth's Beef Juice of great value as a strength- 
ening diet in cases of consumption, nervous prostration, typhoid fever, 
debility, etc., and especially in convalescence. Beef tea prepared with it 
contains more nourishment than any other liquid preparation of meat, 
and, when properly seasoned, is more grateful and appetizing to the 
patient. 

We do not claim, nor do we wish to give the impression, that our 
Beef Juice will replace the quantity of roast beef it represents, for it lacks 
one most important adjunct to the diet — the fibre, which cannot be held 
in solution ; but we do believe that, for the invalid to whom solid food is 
not admissible, or to auy one in health when ordinary food is not obtain- 
able, it is the best substitute ever prepared, and should not be compared 
with ordinary beef extract, mutton broth, chicken soup or other forms of 
liquid food so frequently administered. While we admit that our Beef 
Juice does not fully replace meat, owing to the absence of fibre, it will, 
if administered diluted with water, stimulate with a very marked allied 
nutrient advantage, much more quickly than the same amount of roast 
beef, rendering it of much more value in many conditions which medical 
men will quickly appreciate. When given with a biscuit or cracker to 
persons who can take solid food, it will, to a great degree, compensate 
for the lack of beef fibre. 

It will be found ^ery helpful and strengthening to delicate women, less- 
ening the strain and effort incident to social, domestic and other duties — 
a teaspoonful, given in half a glass of water, with a cracker, stimulating 
and giving strength without causing after-depression. Professional and 
business men suffering from the effects of overwork, mental anxiety, etc., 
will find that a half teaspoonful, taken in half a glass of iced water at inter- 
vals during the day and upon retiring, will relieve fatigue of mind and 
body. A teaspoonful in water, taken with a biscuit or cracker, in case of 
delay or omission of the regular meal, will prove a grateful substitute in 
such an emergency, far more useful than a glass of wine, stimulating 
almost as quickly and more permanently, without the languor and 
exhaustion following alcoholic stimulation. 

The traveler, by sea or land, will find Wyeth's Beef Juice invaluable, 
relieving fatigue when other food is not available or cannot be retained ; 
it will, in most cases, relieve seasickness, as in many cases it overcomes 
and controls nausea. Even young children will be greatly benefited by 
ten to twenty drops of Wyeth's Beef Juice added to their usual food. 
While it is a Beef Juice pure and simple, and cannot possibly prove harm- 
ful, the physician should always be consulted before administering it to 
young children, even as a food. 

There is no substitute for wine or spirits so valuable or efficacious as 
this Beef Juice. It is borne by the most sensitive stomach, giving tone 
and strength and enabling one, in a short time, to take other food. 
Habitual drinkers will find a teaspoonful, taken in iced water, will afford 
great help in overcoming the desire for alcoholic stimulants. 

Caution. — As the valuable albuminoiis elements are rendered insol- 
uble by extreme heat, this preparation should only be mixed with iced or 
lukewarm water, and never with water at the boiling point. 

Dose. — In cases of debility, nervous prostration, convalescence, etc., 
one-half to one teaspoonful in a half tumblerful of iced or lukewarm 
water.

BORACETANILE. 

ACETANII.ID AND ACID BORIC. 

Acetanilid and acid boric, being much alike in physical properties 
and in antiseptic action, combine excellently in the form of a powder, 
which is now favorably known as a soothing, non-irritant and efficient 
dressing for lacerated and incised wounds, ulcers, sores and any other 
injury that requires a bland but effective application. The present prepa- 
ration contains these two ingredients, finely powdered, in the proportion 
of twenty-five parts of acetanilid to seventy-five parts of acid boric. 

Acetanilid is a substance of neutral reaction, belonging, chemically, to 
the anilines, and occurring in white, odorless crystals of silky appear- 
ance, soft to the touch and not disagreeable in taste. It is soluble in one 
hundred and eighty-nine parts of cold water, but freely so in hot water 
and alcohol. Being a non-toxic, it possesses, both locally and internally 
employed, anodyne and febrifuge properties, which render it of the 
greatest utility in surgery and medicine. Acid boric, like acetanilid, is 
non-irritant, being very feebly acid in reaction. It occurs in brilliant, 
white, odorless scales, soluble in water and alcohol. It is very destructive 
to low vegetations, and is much used in Sweden to preserve meat and 
milk from spoiling. 

It is evident that in physical properties these two remedies are excep- 
tionally valuable. Their being odorless is an obvious advantage in sus- 
ceptible cases, and, above all, in a dressing intended for syphilitic ulcers, 
chancres, mucous patches and various other venereal affections that require 
surgical treatment. In this class of cases acetanilid alone has been much 
used by Bodamsr at the German Hospital of Philadelphia, with most 
admirable results. {Med. News, March 10, 1894.) As a dressing for chan- 
croid it is recommended by Liebreich as superior to iodoform. {Ency- 
klopadied. Therapie, i, 28.) Another surgeon, Dr. Castle, of Cincinnati, 
writes that he has had gratifying results with acetanilid in treating ulcers 
of syphilitic origin, chancroids and injuries in general. {Med. News, 1894, 
ii, 303.) Others might be cited if it were necessary, but an odorless 
dressing for venereal sores is obviously so important a desideratum as to 
need no more extended notice here. 

As an antiseptic dressing for wounds, acetanilid was introduced by 
IvTEbreich and Langgaard. {Arzneiverordnungs Lehre, Artikel ' 'Anti- 
febrin.") They, as well as GoTTMAN {Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1887, 
p. 643), found it an efficient and non-irritating application. It was em- 
ployed as a fine powder, which, strewn over a wound, "forms a covering 
under which granulation goes on rapidly without any inflammatory 
reaction . . . and scarcely any pus." Dr. Krieger, another German 
surgeon, had equally good results with acetanilid in a series of cases. 
"Incised wounds treated with this powder healed by primary intention, 
and superficial wounds without pus or sloughing." {Centralblatt fur kl. 
Med., 1886, p. 764.) 

In America, acetanilid has been extensively employed as a surgical 
dressing. Dr. BodamER reports admirable results in cases of ulcerations, 
sinuses, the lacerated wounds of workingrnen, where dust and oil, by 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 209 

getting into the wound, may keep an injury from healing. In such cases 
a layer of powdered acetanilid and acid boric will protect the wound 
from the entrance of irritating particles, and allow granulation to go on, 
without it being necessary to resort to enforced rest on the part of the 
patient. Cases of this kind are very frequent in our manufacturing towns, 
and it is fortunate, therefore, that the surgeon can avail himself of a 
remedy of peculiar convenience and efficiency. For all such injuries, 
according to Dr. Bodamer, acetanilid "is a non-irritant dressing, with 
antiseptic, anaesthetic and strongly desiccant properties." {Loc. tit., 
p. 270.) According to Castee, "it is efficient, antiseptic, stimulant, 
non-irritating, non-toxic, odorless, clean, easy to wash from the surface 
of a wound and the surrounding skin, desiccant and haemostatic." {Loc. 
tit., p. 363.) Dr. AEEEN, who prefers acetanilid to iodoform, says, "It 
is antiseptic, haemostatic, stimulant, desiccant and also a powerful anal- 
gesic." {Med. Bulletin, 1895, xvii.) He combines it usually with acid 
boric. Dr. Harree, who has had much experience with acetanilid, 
deems it superior to acid carbolic, and even to mercury bichloride, for its 
bland, unirritating properties." {Med. News, 1893, ii.) Its powerful 
action, too, is well demonstrated by Dr. KNOWivES, who cured by its 
means a severe case of cervical fistula {Med. News, 1894, ii, p. 419), and by 
Edwards, who employed it in a variety of cases — tuberculous abscesses, 
amputation of the breast, gunshot wound, lithotomy, ulcerations, fissures, 
etc. — with "most gratifying results. {Southern Cat. Practitioner, 1895, 
p. 306 ) 

The antiseptic powers of acetanilid, that can be deduced from the 
above experience of a practical kind, have been investigated in the labor- 
atory by Penzoi/Tz {Archiv fur exp. Path, und Pharmakol.) , by Ljeb- 
REICH and by Frothingham and PraTT {American Journ. of the Med. 
Sciences, August, 1895) . The result may be summed up in the words of 
I4EBREICH {Encyklopddie d. Therapie, i, 28) and Frothingham, that, 
although acetanilid is not, strictly speaking, a germicide, it is a "powerful 
antiseptic," and superior, according to the former authority, to iodoform. 
In other words, it suspends the activity of bacteria, and prevents in an 
especial degree the growth of pus-producing germs. 

The anodyne properties of acetanilid are justly vaunted, and have 
been demonstrated by considerable clinical and experimental experience. 
We may infer from a case of Schaper, of supraorbital neuralgia cured, 
that this remedy has unusual analgesic power. {Militardrtzliche Zeit- 
schrift, 1888, p. 164.) In the laboratory this action has been established 
by Podanowski. {Bull. gen. de Thirap., 1888, ii,27i.) According to this 
observer, acetanilid is a "powerful anodyne," an opinion supported by 
another authority, Weiix. {Ibid., 1887, i, p. 166.) The testimony on this 
point, indeed, is abundant and thoroughly convincing. (EueEnbcrG, 
Real. Encyklopddie, 1894, i, p. 648.) It acts locally as well as internally. 

Locally applied, it is very efficient in angina tonsillaris, relieving the 
cough and making swallowing more easy. (Sahei, Correspondenz-Blatt 
fur Schweizer Aertze, 1884, 374.) It was used by the same authority in 
diphtheritis with good effects. In that extremely painful affection of old 
age, senile gangrene, it is almost certain in action. Demievii,eE, who 
recommends it strongly in this disease, had excellent results in checking 
the attacks of pain. {Revue mfd. de la Suisse rom., 1887, p. 317.) In 
other diseases, marked by painful "crises" and ulcerative processes, in 
caries, ostitis, nasal polypi, hcentorrhoids, etc. , it is a remedy of power. 
In diseases of the skin it has been tried and warmly recommended by 
Demievii.ee {loc. tit.) and byNEwTH {Lancet, 1889, i, p. 681.) For urti- 
caria, erythema, psoriasis, herpes, erysipelas, the application of finely 
powdered acetanilid is a remedy of most favorable action. 

In all these cases, as well as in surgical dressings, acid boric, though 

14

not so powerful nor so much employed as acetanilid, is calculated to in- 
crease the efficiency and bland, unirritating action of this powder. It is 
especially useful in gargles, in the affections of the throat referred to 
above, such as angina tonsillaris, and in diphtheritis and sore throat. In 
cases of gangrene and wounds it is an efficient remedy by itself, and, in 
conjunction with acetanilid, a thoroughly reliable preparation. 

For the convenience of physicians boracetanile is furnished in two- 
ounce bottles, fitted with a sprinkler top ; also in one-pound bottles. 



BORATED THYMOL COMP. SOLUTION. 

(SEE SOLUTION BORATED THYMOL COMP.) 

BOROGLYCERIDE (50-per-cent. Solution). 

Boroglyceride, occasionally called Glyceryl-Borate, is a compound of 
acid boric and glycerine. It has for some time been regarded as a very 
valuable antiseptic, disinfectant and deodorant — arresting fermentation 
and putrefaction. 

Boroglyceride is especially adapted for surgical dressings, having the 
peculiar properties of an antiseptic — healing and particularly soothing — 
thus possessing in many cases a decided superiority over iodoform, acid 
carbolic or acid salicylic. 

Boroglyceride promotes the rapid healing of wounds, sores and the 
drying up of suppurating surfaces, such as vaginitis, purulent ophthalmia, 
otorrhoea, etc. 

Its excellent results in the treatment of ulcers caused by burns, and 
others which are foul and unhealthy, are too well-known for us to more 
than mention the fact. 

It combines readily with acid carbolic, chrysarobin, atropine, mor- 
phine, etc. , and may be applied locally in a great number of skin diseases 
and affections of the eye. 

Used as an ointment, with vaseline, it is particularly adapted to the 
treatment of eczema, impetigo, prurigo and non-syphilitic psoriasis. 

An aqueous solution is also valuable in the treatment of parasitic 
diseases of the skin, and as an injection in reducing chronic inflammation 
of the mucous membranes, especially those attended with unhealthy 
and fetid discharges, such as nasal catarrh, ozasna, cystitis, chronic or 
persistent gonorrhoea, etc., and in mitigating the catarrh of hay fever. 

An alcoholic solution is preferred in the treatment of pruritus and 
urticaria; but a glycerole is used in cases of erysiplas, erythema and 
tinea. As a local application to diphtheritic membranes, our fifty-per- 
cent, solution is especially adapted. Fetor of the feet, arm-pits, etc., will 
be speedily relieved by applying a strong solution of Boroglyceride. 

As Boroglyceride is almost always used in solution, we make a fifty- 
per-cent. solution containing thirty-one per cent, acid boric. Being very 
hygroscopic, the containers should be kept tightly corked. 

Under the name of Gracralin, it is frequently dispensed tor the pres- 
ervation of milk, meat and food, for which purpose it is efficient in 
arresting or preventing fermentation or putrefaction.

CAPRENALIN. 

The suprarenal body has long been known to possess an active rela- 
tion to the sympathetic ganglia. Through its influence upon this ner- 
vous mechanism it causes extensive contractions of the muscular layer 
of the arterioles and a consequent decided rise of blood pressure. More 
closely examined, these effects are found to be due to the action of a 
peculiar principle secreted by the capsules — a principle with distinct 
physiological properties and with chemical affinities similar to those of 
many aikaloidal bases — which active pressor principle we have succeeded 
in isolating, eliminating entirely the depressor principle associated with 
it in the capsules. It will, therefore, be found to act with a degree of 
certainty and regularity essential to operative and medicinal efficiency 
with remedies of this nature. This constancy of action we have tested 
in a series of careful physiological experiments. In these Caprenalin 
invariably caused an immediate rise of blood pressure, not only decided 
in effect but continued over a long period without diminution. The 
quickness with which the contraction of the capillaries is effected, and 
the powerful character of the action, render this agent one of the most 
efficient haemostatics known. 

Besides this styptic action, the secretion of the suprarenal bodies, as 
isolated in the present preparation, has been observed in numerous 
cases in practice to possess analgesic properties. The lessening of pain 
through the action of Caprenalin is doubtless caused by its modifying 
the sensibility of the terminations of the peripheral nerves to impressions 
exciting pain. In this respect it resembles cocaine, and the two 
together form an excellent combination. Caprenalin not only con- 
tributes to the analgesic effects of cocaine, but, by contracting the capil- 
laries and retarding the absorption of cocaine into the general circulation, 
1 materially prolongs its action. These combined effects are very useful 
in local operations. The effect of Caprenalin lasts, approximately, for a 
quarter of an hour, and the blanching of the mucous membrane is 
achieved in from ten to sixty seconds. Further control over the blood 
supply of membranes may be obtained by frequent instillations. In 
various other conditions, in the field of local surgery, ophthalmology, 
laryngology, etc., Caprenalin is a valuable adjunct to such drugs as pilo- 
carpine, eserine, atropine, eucaine, acetanilid, etc. 

The most prominent characteristic of Caprenalin is that, applied 
externally, its physiological action does not normally advance beyond 
constringing the capillaries. Given internally, it is claimed that this 
principle of the suprarenal gland possesses the property of regulating the 
intricate processes of chemical change, or splitting up of substances such 
as toxins, that they may be converted into harmless matter. When this 
power is impaired, as in Addison's disease, it has been thought that the 
administration of a corrective, in the shape of the suprarenal elements 
artificially prepared, would prove curative. Such, in a measure, has been 
the case, as the disease has been favorably influenced by the use of this 
principle, and it is probable that permanent cures of this obstinate affec- 
tion will be obtained in the near future. Caprenalin is a strong means 
of supporting heart, respiration and central nervous system. Hence it is 
a powerful aid in syncope, collapse, maniacal prostration and coma. In 
cases of poisoning by morphine, for example, where it is necessary to- 
provide a stimulus for the failing circulation, it should be utilized ; and 
in desperate extremities it can be advantageously combined, as an injec- 
tion, with the normal salt solution (.6) . 

In Ophthalmology. — The value of Caprenalin for the treatment of 
diseases of the eye is now universally recognized. It permits a bloodless 
field for operations on the orbit, lids and muscles of the eye. It will be

found, therefore, greatly to facilitate surgical procedure in strabismus, 
removal of foreign bodies, injuries to the conjunctiva, excision of tumors, 
lipomata, epitheliomata, etc. It relieves congestion and aids in the 
introduction of sounds in lacrymal disease. In major operations, such as 
enucleation of the eye, abscess in the lacrymal sac, it has rendered potent 
service in checking hemorrhage. As a vehicle useful in itself and 
enhancing the effect of Caprenalin in eye surgery, the normal salt solution 
is to be recommended. 

In Laryngology, Rhinology, etc. — In diseases of the respiratory tract, 
Caprenalin is both prompt and efficient. It rapidly reduces the congested 
membranes, allays the irritation, dries up the secretions and causes a 
decidedly beneficial change in the nutrition of the altered mucous sur- 
faces. In acute and chronic stomatitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and laryn- 
gitis, the standard solution of Caprenalin (i to iooo) should be employed 
by means of an atomizer ; the weaker solution may be obtained by 
dilution with the normal salt solution to the desired strength. The nares, 
in hay fever, and the nasal and pharyngeal mucous membranes, in 
coryza, should be sprayed with a i to iooo solution. In hypertrophic 
rhinitis, Caprenalin, applied once daily by means of a swab, will dis- 
tinctly reduce the size of the hypertrophied turbinated bones, with a cor- 
responding enlargement'in the lumen of the nasal cavity. 

In Diseases of the Auditory Canal. — Inflammation of the external 
and middle ear and Eustachian tubes is best treated by using Caprenalin 
locally and internally. Here the remedy affords marked relief from the 
pain by checking the inflammatory process and causing a discontinuance 
of the discharge. Deafness, if due to an engorged membrane of the 
middle turbinate, is quickly relieved by Caprenalin, as it causes a shrink- 
age of the turgid capillaries, thus opening the Eustachian tube and 
restoring the hearing to a marked extent. Those cases of deafness not 
relieved by this treatment are probably due to a more serious condition. 
As a means of differentiating such, Caprenalin seems to be of value. 

In Diseases of the Male Urethra. — Non-specific urethritis, enlarged 
prostate and cystitis are conditions in which injections or irrigation with 
Caprenalin will prove beneficial by lessening congestion and limiting'the 
range of the morbid process. In stricture of the urethra and other con- 
ditions which may render the passage of a sound or catheter painful and 
difficult, injections of Caprenalin facilitate the progress of the instrument 
by increasing the resilience of the canal. 

In Hemorrhoids, Diseases of the Rectum, etc. — These cases, being 
hemorrhagic and ulcerative in character, are notably suitable for local 
treatment with Caprenalin. 

In Hemorrhagic Metritis. — Caprenalin, given internally in five-drop 
doses three or four times daily, has been effective. Its internal use is 
indicated in hemorrhages from the lungs, the stomach and in post-partnm 
bleeding. The researches of Prof. Schaefer, of Edinburgh, have also 
shown its utility in increasing the strength of the uterine contractions in 
labor. 

Use of Caprenalin with Radio-active Agents. — Caprenalin has been 
used as a preliminary application in the treatment of lupus with the 
Finsen light. This opens a promising field for its employment. 

In Asthma. — Caprenalin has caused a stoppage of the attack in some 
• cases where swelling and thickening in the region of the nasal septum has 
seemed to be an irritating cause. 

General Use. — A powerful haemostatic, vaso-motor stimulant and an 
aid in an emergency. 

For the convenience of physicians we prepare Caprenalin in vials 
containing one grain each, and aseptic solution (i to iooo) in glass- 
stoppered vials of one ounce each.

CARPANUTRINE. 

(PEPTONIZED beef and bread) 

It is characteristic of a large cUss of maladies involving the digestive 
tract that their underlying cause is a deficiency, both in the quantity 
and in the solvent properties, of the secretions upon which a normal 
vigorous absorption of food depends. From the secretion of ptyalin in 
the saliva down to that of the pancreatic juice in the duodenum, through 
a scale of complex chemical changes, it is a primary condition of sound 
digestion that these juices should be present in proper amount and 
unmodified by the changes of disease. As the modified condition is but 
too common, even in cases where no real disorder exists beyond an 
impaired function on the part of the secretory activities of the stomach, 
it has been found necessary to seek artificial aids for the natural digestion. 
This is best accomplished, as scientific researches prove, by transforming 
the essential foods, such as beef and bread, into that state in which we 
know them to be most readily assimilated by the human organism. In 
this metamorphosis, or changed condition, foods become peptones, or the 
final products of gastric digestion. As peptones, they are promptly 
assimilated, being in a most soluble, diffusible form for transmission 
through the gastro-intestinal wall. 

Carpanu trine, therefore, is to be understood as a preparation of food in 
that final state — peptone — in which it is most easily, and with the least 
expense of natural resources, assimilated by weak digestions. Carpa- 
nutrine contains the proteids of beef, the carbohydrates of wheat, in a 
soluble form ; without this solubility they can be but imperfectly absorbed, 
if at all. The want of such a preparation has long been apparent to us ; 
and after careful, elaborately conducted experiments, we are now able 
to offer to physicians and the public a reliable peptonized food— one 
that, besides, represents a higher concentration of nutritious princi- 
ples than any other. Apart from the value of a food in the most digestible 
form as an aid to impaired digestion, it has another advantage in being — 
what is not always the case in nature — completely converted into pep- 
tone. As is well known, the change of proteids into peptone, when 
thoroughly done by a vigorous stomach, is a lengthy process, consuming 
from six to twenty-four hours. Such a task an enfeebled organ is wholly 
unequal to perform. The advantage is obvious, therefore, of having for 
invalids and in the sick-room a food in a predigested liquid form, requir- 
ing no additional labor for the stomach or pancreas. 

The most careful attention has been given to the preparation of Carpa- 
nutrine — to the selection of materials, to their purity and to all labora- 
tory details. The most approved methods have been followed. Conse- 
quently, it can be said that the most nutritive qualities of the foods used — 
fresh lean beef and whole-wheat flour — are preserved intact and with no 
loss to the savory properties of those staples. This last is a great merit, 
for the palatable quality of a food is one of its chief advantages. It is 
this quality that enables the delicate, rebellious stomach to retain food, 
and, being stimulative to its exhausted lining, promotes the natural 
secretion of its juices. In order to extract from the beef and flour their 
stores of nourishment — compress them in this concentrated form without 
losing their gastronomic value — the process employed has been carried 
out with a due regard to the culinary as well as the scientific side. Care- 
fully selected fresh lean beef is trimmed, minced and broiled. It is then 
reduced to the temperature approximating that of the body, and acted 
upon by the ferments found in the intestinal tract. In other words, the 
proteids of the beef, from non-diffusible albumen, are changed, by the 
action of these ferments, into diffusible bodies, ready for instant assimila- 



2T4 Kindly specify " WyETh'S " when prescribing. 

tion into the tissues. As already stated, the proteids, in the course of this 
process, are converted into peptones. This solution of peptone thus 
obtained is concentrated ' ' in vacuo " to the point of containing a definite 
assayed nutritive value. The whole-wheat flour is also carefully cooked 
and subjected to the action of the proteolytic enzymes, which convert the 
gluten and starch into peptone and maltose. These are then concentrated 
to a certain strength and added to the beef juice. The whole is evapo- 
rated to a dense syrupy consistency, and is then brought to a standard 
strength by the addition of a vinous aromatic and stomachic vehicle. 

Thus, in small compass, are included all those components that man 
is obliged to absorb daily in his food to sustain life in a state of health and 
vigor. This preparation, when analyzed, contains : peptone, 6.75 per 
cent. ; carbohydrates, 11.25 P er cent. ; mineral salts, 2.35 per cent. Free 
from any effects that can irritate the epithelium of the stomach or intes- 
tines, it is in a form to have all its nutritive elements appropriated with- 
out waste by the organism ; it will be found, also, to possess superior 
palatable qualities. The vehicle in which it is incorporated is of such a 
medicinal character as to disguise the naturally bitter taste of peptone and 
enhance the value of the food by imparting to it a tonic action on the 
digestive canal. As a general advantage, the saving of waste attained by 
the use of this form of nutriment is noteworthy. A considerable propor- 
tion of the foods naturally ingested, owing to the rapidity of the peris- 
taltic movements of the intestines and to deficiencies in function on the 
part of the organs concerned in transfusion, passes out of the body 
unchanged. This is the case more particularly with the vegetable foods, 
which, owing to their bulk and to their being so often enclosed in tough 
cellular membranes, are disintegrated with difficulty. In fact, as regards 
the rate at which they can be utilized by the body for its tissue change, 
animal foods stand first, and, of the two classes, beef and wheaten bread 
are the most easily digested and assimilated ; and when these are pro- 
vided in a form free from all adventitious materials contributing to waste, 
the rate of absorp'tion probably reaches the maximum. 

We venture to claim, therefore, that Carpanutrine represents a larger 
proportion of assimilable proteids than can be obtained from other sources. 
Care has been taken that the process of peptonization is complete, that 
the intermediate products — proteoses, proto- and deutero-albumoses, 
gelatoses — are not left in the final solution. The presence of these is 
a disadvantage, as they must be further acted upon by the digestive 
enzymes before they can be absorbed. Carpanutrine, therefore, differs 
from other foods on the market, which contain their proteids principally 
in the form of proteose. Not less important to a food than its richness in 
peptones is its possession of the necessary inorganic salts in proper pro- 
portion. The percentage of the elements (sodium, calcium, iron, etc.) 
requisite to maintain an active metabolism, or tissue change, has been 
adjusted in this preparation with scrupulous exactitude. It is likewise 
essential to the purpose of providing a digestible food that it should not 
contain any substance susceptible to fermentative change. To these 
changes the carbohydrates are liable, unless they have been thoroughly 
transformed into maltose or into a soluble, diffusible agent. In Carpanu- 
trine, this important process of the conversion of the carbohydrates has 
been studiously perfected. 

General Uses of Carpanutrine in Medicine. — It should be sufficiently 
obvious, from the foregoing, that Carpanutrine is adapted to a wide variety 
of uses both in health and disease. As regards those cases of simple ill 
health where there is no specific disorder but a distaste for food, even 
repugnance, it will promote the appetite. In graver conditions it pos- 
sesses a primary requisite, as it can be taken for long periods without 
monotony. As a food for children, it deserves careful trial. 



Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 215 

In Diseases of Children. — Where fever or a low state of vitality 
exists, this food should be administered in suitable doses and under the 
direction of a physician. 

In Fevers. — In typhoid the question of dietetics is of paramount 
importance. When the temperature is high, the action of the heart 
weak, Carpanutrine is useful in keeping up the strength. It should be 
given judiciously, in small amounts, at frequent intervals. In continued 
fevers, such as typhus, where wasting of tissue has proceeded for a long 
time, this food can be given more freely, with distinct advantage. In 
these cases its tonic and aromatic properties have a decided effect ; and 
also where a strong supporting diet is needed, in diphtheria, mumps, 
whooping-cough, tonsillitis, influenza, malaria, erysipelas, phthisis. 
Carpanutrine is valuable as well in the dyspeptic troubles accompanying 
consumption. 

In many cases a liquid food is imperatively required by the conditions 
of the malady ; for example, where convulsions or spasms interfere with 
deglutition — tetanus, hydrophobia, cerebrospinal fever. Here the con- 
venience and the utility of the preparation are obvious. 

In cases marked by painful deglutition — laryngitis, bronchitis, com- 
mon cold, bulbar paralysis, cedema of the glottis, narrowing of the 
oesophagus, etc. — a food, to be useful, must be given in a concentrated 
form. Hence the value of Carpanutrine in all of these affections. 

In febrile inflammatory conditions, as pneumonia, endocarditis, it is 
often necessary to employ a strong diet to maintain the vitality. For 
this purpose the administration of a food like Carpanutrine is indicated. 

Many nervous disorders of the system require powerful aliment, as 
hysteria, chorea, neurasthenia, debility. The supporting effects of Car- 
panutrine are here very beneficial. 

On the same principle, it is valuable in diseases of the blood, ana;mia, 
chlorosis, myxcedetna. 

In dyspepsia, gastro-intestinal catarrh, stomatitis, gastric ulcer, in 
all states of imperfect assimilation or of inflammation of the digestive 
tract, Carpanutrine is particularly efficient. 

In alcoholism, which should be treated by abundant feeding, it is 
productive of marked benefit. 

When administered in cases selected by the physician, it can be 
employed with advantage in certain chronic maladies — nephritis, diabetes, 
Addison' 1 s disease, intestinal obstruction, hepatic cirrhosis, jaundice, loco- 
motor ataxia. 

Dose. — The dose should be carefully regulated to suit the case. In 
general, it may be said that the best results with Carpanutrine are obtained 
by giving it in small quantities at intervals of two hours ; for adults, a 
tablespoonful ; for children, a half to a teaspoonful. 



CASCARA WAFERS. 

A sweet laxative confection of Senna and Cascara with aromatics and 
fruit pastes.

CHLORODYNE. 

ANODYNE, SEDATIVE, ANTISPASMODIC AND DIAPHORETIC. 

This invaluable preparation produces all the anodyne, sedative, anti- 
spasmodic and diaphoretic effects of other opiates, without giving rise to 
the nausea, prostration, loss of appetite and depression of spirits which 
are so apt to follow their use, and which are sometimes so distressing as 
to preclude the employment of such articles where they would otherwise 
be strongly indicated. 

Chlorodyne is free from any such objection. It has been very exten- 
sively prescribed by the most eminent physicians, both in this country 
and abroad, and has gained steadily in favor the longer it has been tried. 
It relieves pain, relaxes spasm, soothes the irritated nerves, and promotes 
sleep without inducing any unpleasant after-effects. 

These advantages are especially marked in all forms of gout, rheuma- 
tism and neuralgia ; in colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera morbus, and 
Asiatic or epidemic cholera (the testimony to its virtue in this latter 
affection, from those who have had abundant opportunity for witnessing 
its trial in India and elsewhere, is positive and convincing) ; in painful 
menstruation or dysmenorrhcea, in uterine colic and in hysteria ; in cases 
of insomnia or sleeplessness, especially in those due to the effects of dis- 
sipation, with great irritability of stomach ; in cases of asthma, bronchitis, 
consumption, whooping-cough, angina pectoris, and in all chest diseases 
attended with pain ; in renal or nephritic colic, from the passage of a 
stone from the kidney to the bladder ; in tetanus, epilepsy, and in many 
forms of convulsions. 

It will be found especially useful in the neuralgic and other headaches 
from which females suffer so severely, as its use dees not induce the disa- 
greeable relaxing effect, invariably the case with all other anodynes. We 
might extend and particularize this list to a much greater length, but it 
would be needless to do so. 

We believe physicians will find the Chlorodyne prepared by us superior 
to the English or to any other made in this country. 

Directions. — The adult dose of our Chlorodyne is twenty drops, to 
be repeated every hour or two, if relief is not experienced, until three 
doses are taken. Even this quantity may be increased, but only by 
direction and advice of the physician. The dose for children, from five to 
ten years of age, is from three to ten drops, repeated as often. It should 
be remembered that on account of its pungency, this article should 
always be administered in a little water or syrup, when it is not combined 
with other remedies. 

COCAINE HYDROCHLORATE TABLETS. 

FOR MAKING EXTEMPORANEOUS SOLUTIONS. 

The rapid development of low forms of vegetable life in the solutions 
of cocaine, even if kept for a comparatively short time, has induced us 
to manufacture a compressed tablet of a specific weight, similar to our 
Compressed Hypodermic Tablets, so that the practitioner can, in a 
moment, make a fresh solution of any strength he may desire. 

One tablet if added to 30 drops of water makes a 4 per cent, solution. 
One tablet if added to 60 drops of water makes a 2 per cent, solution 
One tablet if added to 120 drops of water makes a 1 per cent, solution. 

Their convenience, accuracy and economy will commend them to 
every physician who has occasion to use this drug. 

They are put up in vials, each vial containing twenty tablets.

COD LIVER OIL EMULSION. 

Contains forty per cent, of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. 

Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful immediately before or after 
each meal. For children, proportionate dose, according to age. Many 
prefer to take it in from two to four times its bulk of milk, wine or water, 
well stirred. 

COD LIVER OIL EMULSION, FERRATED. 

Contains forty per cent, of pure Cod Liver Oil, with four grains Iron Pyrophos- 
phate in each ftuidounce. 

Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful immediately before or after 
each meal. For children, proportionate dose, according to age. Many 
prefer to take it in from two to four times its bulk of milk, wine or water, 
well stirred. 

COD LIVER OIL EMULSION WITH 
HYPOPHOSPHITES. 

(UME AND SODIUM.) 
Each tablespoonful contains three grains of chemically pure Hypophosphite Salts. 

This preparation represents, in a convenient form, one of the most 
efficient and popular remedies in cases of pulmonary character, with 
tendency to hemorrhage, loss of appetite, cough, and especially when 
attended with emaciation. 

The Hypophosphites with Cod Liver Oil may be given, also, with great 
advantage in anaemia, chlorosis, to nursing mother's, and in all cases of 
nervous exhaustion and general debility. , 

Since the introduction of the " Hypophosphites of Sodium, Lime and 
Iron," separately or combined, in the treatment of the large class of 
wasting diseases (of which consumption is the most prominent and 
familiar type) , the confidence of the medical profession in these articles 
has steadily increased. 

Phosphorus itself, which, theoretically, is strongly indicated in these 
cases as a stimulant to the nervous system, and thus indirectly as a pro- 
moter of nutrition, cannot be so disguised or sheathed with demulcents 
as to be tolerated by the stomachs of many patients who would otherwise 
be greatly benefited by its use. It must be chemically combined, and 
introduced into the organism in such a form as to favor its absorption and 
assimilation. Precisely this is dore when acid hypophosphorous, with 
one or more of the alkaline bases above mentioned, is properly prepared. 
The stomach receives it without irritation ; it is taken up along with 
other food and carried into the economy, to be there resolved and to

supply the -waste which often constitutes the first link in a chain of 
morbid actions. 

It is in cases of pulmonary disease, with emaciation, cough, debility, 
hemorrhage and the whole train of too-well-known symptoms that the 
benefits of this article are most manifest. In many other wasting dis- 
orders, both in children and adults, the same indications are presented. 

The advantages derived from Cod Liver Oil in the same class of affec- 
tions need hardly be dwelt upon. We use a strictly correct expression 
when we say that the tissues are "burning up : " they are really being 
consumed to maintain the temperature (often much above the normal 
standard) of the body. Cod Liver Oil takes their place as a fuel. By its 
introduction into the economy, and its consumption there, the living 
elements of the organism are enabled to retain their structure, and are 
restored to their proper nutrition and functions. 

By combining the Hypophosphites with Cod Liver Oil — the latter in a 
finely divided state — by our peculiar process of emulsifying, and so dis- 
guised as to be inoffensive to even a delicate stomach, we are enabled to 
afford, at the same time, a stimulant to the nervous system and a promoter 
of nutrition, as well as a fuel which takes the place of the wasting tissues. 

It would be easy to dwell at much greater length upon the claims of 
this valuable combination to the favor of the medical profession and the 
public ; but we feel assured that the foregoing brief statement, founded 
upon physiological and chemical facts, and borne out by the constantly 
increasing testimony of experience, will commend itself to those who 
give it their unbiased consideration. 

We would only say, further, that this preparation, like every other 
bearing our name, is composed of the very best materials, and made up 
with the utmost care. We are, therefore, confident that it will fully 
maintain our assertions in regard to it. 

Dose. — For adults, one-half to one tablespoonful three times a day ; 
an hour before or after meals is the best time to take it. For children, 
one to two teaspoonfuls as often. For infants, decrease in proportion to 
age. Shake the bottle well before using.

COD LIVER OIL EMULSION WITH LIME 
PHOSPHATE, 

Each fiuidounce contains eight grains Lime Phosphate. 

We earnestly invite the attention of physicians to this article — which 
will be found to answer a most important purpose— as a remedy in the 
large class of wasting diseases. 

One of the principal features in all these affections is the impairment 
or perversion of nutrition, the too rapid tissue transformation, and the 
want of certain substances essential to the organism. Especially is this 
manifest in the typical forms : scrofula in children, pulmonary complaints 
in adults. In these disorders, Cod L,iver Oil acts as a fuel, maintaining 
animal heat. By adding to it the lime phosphate, we supply not only a 
tonic to the nervous system, but an important ingredient to other tissues 
of the body. When there is an actual tuberculous deposit, this article 
promotes its most favorable results : cretefaction. 

Children and invalids, however fastidious, can take, without difficulty, 
our Cod Liver Oil prepared in the form of an emulsion, being pleasantly 
flavored and perfectly disguised ; but physicians will readily understand 
that the real reason why delicate persons can digest our Emulsion of 
Cod Liver Oil is that the oily particles are, without chemical change, 
broken up and incorporated with an agreeable solution used as a vehicle 
in the process 0/ manufacture. The molecular condition of the oil is 
entirely changed ; and it is, in consequence, more quickly and readily 
digested. 

We therefore feel the utmost confidence that this remedy will not 
disappoint the expectations of those who employ it, and we offer it as a 
valuable addition to the resources of the profession against the disorders 
which are, in this country, the most numerous and the most formidable 
which they are called upon to combat. 

Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful, to be increased to one table- 
spoonful. For children, in proportion to age. The bottle should be well 
shaken before giving each dose. 

COD LIVER OIL— PURE. 

Expressed and refined from fresh and selected cod livers. This oil is neither 
vitiated, oxidized, medicated nor adulterated. 

Dose. — For an adult, one-half to two tablespoonfuls, to be taken with 
wine, milk or a pinch of salt. Repeat two or three times a day. 

COLLYRIUM. 

The use of an antiseptic eye-lotion is of great benefit to all persons 
suffering from congestion or redness of the eyes caused by using them for 
near work over a prolonged period, this in turn causing such annoying 
symptoms as intolerable itching and desire on the part of patient to con- 
tinuously rub the eyes. They feel dry, hot and sandy ; bright light causes 
discomfort, the tears sometimes running over the cheeks. The mild, 
stimulating and astringent properties of this lotion will, with the exercise 
of such care as the physician directs, cause a subsidence of inflammation 
of the delicate structure of the eyes and lids, allay the itching, produce a 
cool and soothing effect, remove all redness and congestion, thereby 
restoring the parts to their former healthy condition. 

The application of the lotion two or three times will best demonstrate 



220 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

its effectiveness in acute and chronic catarrhal conjunctivitis or allied dis- 
eases, lessening almost immediately the annoying itching and burning 
sensations with -which they are associated. This eye-lotion may be used 
slightly warmed or at the ordinary temperature. It is necessary, however, 
that it penetrate freely over the eyeball and under the lids. For this 
purpose an eye-cup should be half filled with the lotion and inverted over 
the eye for several minutes, or, if desirable, a piece of absorbent cotton or 
ordinary linen may be saturated, pressing out the liquid over the eye. 
The treatment may be repeated every half hour, or as frequently as may 
seem advisable, without fear of giving rise to any complication. To insure 
the lotion being brought in contact with every portion of the eye, the 
lower lid may be drawn down during its application. 

Collyrium — Wyeth, aside from its valuable healing properties, will 
prove an efficient adjunct in any treatment the physician may direct. 

COMPOUND PEPSIN POWDER. 
(see pepsin powder comp.) 

CORDIAL TONIC OF YELLOW PERUVIAN 
BARK, SERPENTARIA, ETC. 

The grateful and invigorating influence of this tonic adapts it particu- 
larly to persons enfeebled by sickness or exposure, the ingredients of 
which it is composed being the most energetic of antiperiodics. As a 
preventive to the influence of miasma, noxious climate and the debili-

CORN AND WART PENCILS. 

For the painless removal of warts, and a certain cure for hard and 
soft corns. Its use for both warts and corns, besides being more certain, 
is not open to the annoyances of the plasters, ointments and caustics 
usually prescribed. 

CRYSTALLIZED LINIMENT. 

RUBEFACIENT CONES. 

A new form of counter-irritant application, combining ilte advantages of Mus- 
tard, Capsicum, Porous and other Plasters, Liniments and Counter-irri- 
tants generally, and free from all the inconveniences, blistering and trouble 
connected with agents of this character. 

In the present state of medical knowledge it is quite certain that the 
effect entitled rubefacient is far more generally useful for the relief of 
local inflammatory and neuralgic affections than the more severe vesicant 
and caustic applications, as effected by mustard, cantharides, etc. The 
most casual examination of existing data will convince any one of the 
accuracy of this statement. 

A local application having a counter-irritant action must affect differ- 
ent parts through the nervous system, either by direct or reflex com- 
munication. A superficial and strictly localized painful or inflamma- 
tory affection may be acted on directly, the terminal portion of the nerve

coming within range of the topical application. We have an illustration 
of this in the action of cocaine on the nerves on that part of the mucous 
membrane to which it is applied ; but this mode of procuring relief must, 
necessarily, be limited in scope and restricted in utility. The most im- 
portant results are those secured by a reflex mechanism. 

When a counter-irritant impression is made on some external part, 
distant inflammatory and painful affections are relieved by a reflex action 
which includes in its range the sensory portion of the nervous system 
and the vaso-motor or circulatory system. To obtain these important 
results the degree of counter-irritation must be properly gauged. Certain 
well-established physiological principles enable us to arrive at a close 
approximation to the necessary amount of irritation. Severe and pro- 
tracted counter-irritation depresses the functions both of the nervous 
system of animal life and the organic nervous system, including the 
vaso-motor and trophic. Extensive blistering, for example, may be com- 
pared to a large burn on the surface — and, it is well known how pro- 
foundly such an injury will modify the nutrition of the internal organs 
and inaugurate serious structural lesions. On the other hand, such a 
moderate degree of counter-irritation as is involved in the process of 
rubefaction tones up the relaxed vessels, and thus relieves congestion of 
internal organs and allays the irritability of excited seusory nerves. 

The materials heretofore employed as rubefacients have not been satis- 
factory, because their action is not sustained and uniform. If continu- 
ously applied, the effect passes the merely rubefacient, and vesication and 
ulceration result. The special need is a rubefacient that shall maintain a 
constant impression without involving deeper and more severe injuries. 
We believe we have accomplished this purpose successfully in our Rube- 
facient Cone. Crystallized Liniment is capable of all the applications 
required of this class of remedial agents, and free from their inconven- 
iences and unpleasant effects. They will cause redness without involving 
the danger of vesication. As respects the pain which accompanies the 
action of a rubefacient, the Cone has the merit of so modifying the local 
impression that while the counter-irritant action is taking place the pain 
is reduced to a not disagreeable sensation of heat and tingling. The most 
protracted application does not cause an inflammation of the skin — only 
that degree of redness of the part necessary to a proper counter-irritant 
effect. 

The Rubefacient Cone is also anodyne by reason of the impressions 
made on the nerve terminals — the end organs — and of the reflex action 
on the nerve centres in anatomical relation thereto. 

The therapeutical applications of the Cones — counter-irritant — are 
numerous and important. In general terms, wherever a counter-irritant 
is indicated, the Cones can be employed instead of the plaster, the 
ointment, the liniment; for the endless uses to which these topical 
agents can be applied, the Cone can be substituted as at the same time a 
neater, more convenient and elegant and more efficient means. 

Migraine, or hemicrania, neuralgia of the fifth nerve, spinal pain 
and irritation, intercostal neuralgia, lumbago, muscular rheumatism or 
myalgia, all pains in superficial nerves, are relieved by the counter-irritant 
Cones, In such cases the Cone is rubbed over the part to be acted on 
until a sufficient impression is made or relief obtained. 

For the internal affections of an inflammatory character in which 
counter-irritants are constantly used with success, the Cones are admi- 
rably adapted. We may mention, in this connection, sore throat, croup, 
bronchitis and pleurisy. For the relief of these troubles, the Cones are 
rubbed over the throat externally, over the larynx and trachea, and over 
the part of the chest affected by inflammation. For the abdominal and 
pelvic inflammations, for peritonitis, stomach disorders, colic, dysmen- 



222 Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. 

orrhcea, and, indeed, for all the painful and inflammatory affections ot 
the various internal organs, the Cones can be used with the certainty of 
affording as much relief as can be effected by counter-irritant remedies. 

The Cones are especially indicated when the case is one of superficial 
pain — as lumbago, weak and tender spine, etc. 

Prepared as these Cones are, they are entirely cleanly, easy of appli- 
cation, and present singular advantages for the treatment of the maladies 
for the relief of which the various counter-irritants are now employed. 
They are of a size to be convenient in handling; they do not waste 
rapidly ; they adapt themselves to any surface ; they require no band- 
aging or other dressing, or after-treatment ; they do not injure the skin, 
and are absolutely free from danger, immediate or remote. 

Directions. — The Cones can be applied under any circumstances ; on 
railway journeys, at sea, at home or abroad. It is only necessary to rub 
the Cone on or over the part, the seat of pain, a few times until the 
gentle tingling caused by it is felt. The amount of irritation can be 
controlled at will, according to the degree or mode of application, and 
can be removed entirely by simply wiping the surface of the skin with 
a damp cloth or towel. 



DIALYSED IRON (FERRUM DIALYSATUM). 

A pure neutral solution of Iron Peroxide in the colloid form. The result of 
endosmosis and diffusion with distilled water. Each fluidounce contains 
27.68 grains. 

Our Dialysed Iron {Ferrum Dialysatum) is a preparation of much 
interest, chemically, and of much value in therapeutics, since it is a pure 
oxide of iron in a liquid state, easily absorbed, unirritating, and capable 
of being prescribed with great accuracy as to quantity. 

In the chemistry of this process, no scientific man can fail to be 
interested. We effect on a large scale, by a simple endosmosis, the 
change from an acid combination to a perfectly neutral state, without 
impairing the solubility of the substance. Heretofore, this has only been 
done on a small scale, by Graham and others, as a matter of experiment. 
The advantages theoretically ascribed by chemists to the article, if it 
could be prepared in quantity, are borne out by practical trials since we 
have manufactured it. 

The process of dialysis consists in placing the substance in a dialyser, 
formed of a diaphragm of parchment or membrane, the other side of 
which is in contact with distilled water. At the end of a certain time 
the colloids remain in the dialyser, while the crystalloids have, by endos- 
mosis or diffusion, passed the diaphragm, and become dissolved in the 
distilled water. 

In the preparation of Dialysed Iron we avail ourselves of two known 
principles. The first is connected with the remarkable property possessed 
by the chlorides in general of combining with the oxides to form oxy- 
chlorides, which are usually soluble, and in which the proportion of 
oxide is very large. As regards iron, particularly, one equivalent of its 
perchloride may, under suitable conditions, combine with thirty or more 
of the oxide, giving a soluble oxychloride, the formula of which would be 
Fe2Cl6,3oFe203. To get rid of the acid hydrochloric, and obviate the 
usual inconveniences of ferruginous preparations, we take advantage of 
the second principle — that of the unequal diffusibility of acid hydro- 
chloric and iron peroxide, the latter belonging to the class of colloid 
bodies — and, by means of the dialyser, we completely separate this acid 



Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 223 

hydrochloric, so that, as a final result, we have the thirty equivalents of 
soluble iron peroxide contained in a very small volume of water. 

When this operation has been conducted with care, the Dialysed Iron 
thus obtained is an inodorous liquid of a deep-red color ; it has none of the 
styptic taste so common and so disagreeable in ferruginous preparations. 

Very Important. — Physicians and apothecaries will appreciate how 
important is the fact that, as an antidote for poisoning by arsenic, 
Dialysed Iroti is quite as efficient as the hydraTed sesouioxide (hitherto 
the best remedy known in such cases) and has the great advantage of 
being always ready for immediate use. It will now doubtless be found 
in every drug store to supply such an emergency. 

We have the testimony of many prominent physicians as to their 
successful treatment, with our Dialysed Iron, of arsenical poisoning. 

The details of their experiments have been published in the various 
medical journals, and, doubtless, read by the majority of physicians. 

Becqoerei< says of it : 

"It produces neither heartburn, diarrhcea, constipation, eructations, 
nor, in short, any gastric disturbance, and — which is a matter of much 
importance — it never blackens the teeth. All these statements are borne 
out, not only by numerous experiments of my own, but by the facts 
observed by very many physicians in Europe, among whom might be 
cited some of the most distinguished societies who have given their 
attention to the subject. Administered for months together, the Dialysed 
Iron has shown itself conclusively to afford all these advantages. 

"Tested by chemical reagents, this article is found to be immediately 
precipitated in the form of brown flocculi, by a very small quantity of 
acid sulphuric, by alkalies and by many salts ; but it is not precipitated 
by acid nitric, pee ic or muriatic. This latter property precludes the risk 
of its activity being interfered with by the chlorides in the digestive canal. 

" The solution of Dialysed Iron— obtained as above, and concentrated 
by boiling — coagulates only to a certain degree, so that it may be reduced 
in volume with increase of strength. The coagulum formed by heat, by 
acid sulphuric or by an alkali, is a jelly of deep-red color, closely resem- 
bling a clot of human blood. This coagulum is insoluble in water, but 
soluble in dilute acids. Graham, who has given much attention to the 
study of dialysis, thinks that the colloidal iron hydrate exists in two 
states, soluble and insoluble, but has not determined the composition of 
the coagulated hydrate. 

"The colloidal solution of iron hydrate, submitted to the action of 
an electric pile, gives, at the negative pole, the gelatinous hydrate." 

Such is the product which we have submitted to physicians and for 
which we ask a trial, believing it will always be found a ferruginous 
preparation of great strength, without odor or taste, and harmless to the 
teeth, combining, in short, all the advantages of the best preparations of 
iron without any of their objectionable qualities. 

It sometimes happens that the Dialysed Iron becomes somewhat 
thickened, or even (though very rarely) jellified. This is due to the 
sensitiveness of the article, and is an evidence of its great purity. 
According to BecouEREi/s, Graham's, and our own numerous experi- 
ments, this is not an alteration but a transformation of the Dialysed Iron, 
and may be due to several causes : I, too great concentration — a slight 
degree of evaporation sufficing to carry off the small amount of contained 
water ; 2, the drop-counter should not be introduced when moistened with 
ordinary water, the salts contained in the latter, though in infinitesimal 
quantity, being enough to thicken or coagulate the Dialysed Iron; 3, 
extreme cold — freezing having the same thickening effect ; but this con- 
dition being, as already stated, not an alteration but a transformation, may 
be corrected by putting a little distilled water into the bottle. I,ike all 



224 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 

valuable articles, this preparation may be imitated ; and the public are 
cautioned against purchasing any Dialysed Iron not bearing our name. 

The advantages of our Dialysed Iron over preparations purporting to 
be similar will be recognized at once by physicians and druggists. The 
French and German Ferrum Oxydatum Dialysatum which we have 
examined give acid reactions to test paper, and show the presence of a salt 
of iron when potassium sulphocyanide or ferrocyanide is added. 

By our appliances we are enabled to carry the dialysation to such a 
degree that our preparation is tasteless and free from astringency, the 
minute quantity of the oxychloride not being appreciable nor giving evi- 
dence of existing unless acid is added, converting it into a salt of iron. 
Graham obtained 98.5 parts of oxide with 1.5 of acid, noted as follows : 

" Th. Graham's celebrated essay on the diffusion of liquids {Phil. 
Trans., 1861, 183) announces the following results: 'If recently pre- 
cipitated ferric hydrate or ammonium carbonate be added to an aqueous 
solution of ferric chloride, as long as the precipitates are redissolved, and 
if the dark -red solution thus obtained, containing from four to five per 
cent, of solid matter, is subjected to dialysis, mainly acid muriatic will 
pass through the septum, upon which, after nineteen days, remains a red 
liquid containing, for 98.5 parts of oxide, 1.5 parts of acid muriatic' " 

Our Dialysed Iron is not a saline compound, and is easily distinguished 
from salts of iron by not giving a blood-red color on the addition of an 
alkaline sulphocyanide or a blue precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide. 
It does not become cloudy if boiled. When agitated with one part of alco- 
hol and two parts of ether (fortior) , the ether layer is not made yellow. 

Drop-CounTKR. Mode of using. — In one compartment of the box 
containing the bottle is a drop-counter. To use it the rubber portion is 
compressed with the fingers and the tube introduced into the liquid ; the 
pressure is then relaxed, when the liquid passes up into the instrument, 
which is thus charged , and may be removed. By repeated gentle pressures 
on the rubber the liquid is made to issue, drop by drop, until the requisite 
number is counted. 

The instrument should not be washed with ordinary water, but should 
be cleaned after using by wiping it with a clean rag of soft Itnen. Keep 
the bottle well corked, and in winter avoid exposing it to extreme cold. 

Twenty to fifty drops of Dialysed Iron or, at most, about one-half tea- 
spoonful daily, can be taken, in four or five doses (one-fourth or one-fifth 
each time) in a little water, with or without sugar (or merely dropped on 
a small lump of sugar) in wine, coffee, etc. A physician can judge best 
as to the mode of administration, as well as of the quantity required. 
It may be remarked that this article can be taken without inconvenience 
in doses two or three times as large as those stated, but not to any 
advantage, as only a certain amount can be absorbed into the system ; 
and from numerous experiments recently made it would appear that this 
amount is not more than from forty to eighty drops per day. 

More comprehensive literature on the chemistry and t/icrapy of Dialysed Iron will 
be furnished on application. 

DIASTAS— WYETH. 

Will digest from fifty to one hundred times its weight of starch, and is 
therefore an invaluable adjunct to the digestion of starchy foods for chil- 
dren, and will be found no less serviceable to adults when added to all 
foods prepared with a considerable amount of starch, such as the various 
cereals and breakfast foods, rolls, puddings, pastry, etc. ; in such cases it 
should be dusted lightly over or mixed with the food just before eating. 
In cases of amylaceous dyspepsia or intestinal indigestion it may be given 
either with the food or shortly after eating. 

Dose. — One to five grains.

DIASTASIC MALT AND COMBINATIONS. 

Our Diastasic Malt Extracts in combination with various other con- 
stituents are prepared by the vacuum process, recognized as a superior 
method of procedure, owing to the low temperature employed. The 
Diastasic Extract represents in a highly concentrated form the soluble, 
nutritive and diastasic constituents of the choicest Canadian Malt, at the 
same time presents a large percentage of nitrogenous matter, carbo- 
hydrates and phosphates in a convenient and palatable form for adminis- 
tration. The bright light color and freedom from the slightest tendency 
to cloud is evidence of the active and well preserved character of the 
extract. Being readily miscible with nearly all remedial agents in liquid 
form, and being a solvent for salts soluble in aqueous menstrua, it is 
admirably well adapted as a vehicle for other remedies, particularly for 
convalescents where the Malt Extract is in itself especially indicated. 

The various formulae given below are the more popular combinations, 
and are offered regularly for the convenience of the physician in pre- 
scribing or ordering. 

By mentioning " Wyeth's " on prescriptions, the physician is assured 
of receiving an extract of highest diastasic power.

This extract is prepared by the process of "mashing" by first con- 
verting the starch of the grain into maltose and then rapidly evaporating 
in vacuo to dryness. It possesses remarkable nutrient properties and is 
rich in soluble albuminoids. This preparation is employed, with excellent 
results, in the treatment of amylaceous dyspepsia, and as an adjunct in 
the preparation of infants' food it cannot be excelled.

ERGOT— PURIFIED. 

ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR HYPODERMATIC USE. 

We doubt if there is another preparation, either isolated or combined 
with the therapeutic principles of ergot, so admirably adapted for subcu- 
taneous use as this one, as it possesses very positive advantages over the 
aqueous solutions of ergot, which rapidly decompose. 

That the physiological action of ergot is different when administered 
hypodermatically than when employed internally seems to be a fact. 
When given by the mouth, the ergot, in passing through the peculiar 
vital processes necessary before it reaches the circulating medium of the 
blood, evidently undergoes some physicial or chemical change that elimi- 
nates particles of inert, irritating, and blood-pressure-lowering principles. 
Thus, the same ergot that, introduced into the system by the mouth, 
produces the characteristic therapeutic effects of this complex drug, when 
injected hypodermatically causes an instantaneous and decided fall of 
blood-pressure entirely out of proportion to the dose. 

All authorities seem to agree that ergot should produce a decided rise 
of blood-pressure, and, indeed, this must be true if it is to be employed 
in cases of internal hemorrhage with a condition of capillary dilatation, 
which demands a powerful vaso-motor stimulation. 

Appreciating fully the conflicting opinions respecting the value of the 
various constituents of this complex drug, we have recently conducted a 
series of exhaustive physiological tests, with a view of arriving at a more 
intelligent understanding of what principles are essential to insure the full 
physiological action, and what must be eliminated to reduce to a minimum 
its irritating properties. With this end in view, it has been our aim and 
purpose to present to the medical profession, as near as possible, an ideal 
preparation, one thoroughly aseptic, free from all objectionable features, 
and yet embodying every valuable constituent of the drug ; and we feel 
that the product we now offer embraces all these advantages and cannot 
fail to meet universal endorsement. 

Our Ergot — Purified — physiologically exerts a powerful action upon 
the unstriped muscular fibres and vaso-motor nervous system, besides hav- 
ing a decided influence upon the uterine muscles, evidently due to direct 
muscular stimulation and action upon the centres in the lumbar portion of 
the spinal cord. The respiratory movements are slowed, but, at the same 
time, they are stronger and fuller It produces an increase of intestinal 
peristalsis, also a more abundant flow of urine. The action of Ergot — 
Purified — upon the blood-pressure is instantaneous, decided in effect and 
prolonged in action. 

Having made numerous experiments by injecting definite quantities 
subcutaneously in guinea-pigs, we have fully demonstrated that this prepa- 
ration is entirely devoid of any irritating properties, whereas other prepa- 
rations of ergot, employed under similar circumstances, have in a number 
of cases produced an area of inflammation. 

Ergot — Purified — is especially indicated in the treatment of uterine 
inertia, post-partum hemorrhage, following abortion or miscarriage, or in 
any condition of the uterus in which a deci led contraction is desired. 
Experience, no doubt, will demonstrate the value of this preparation in 
the treatment of the various forms of hemorrhage, as it is equally valuable 
in epistaxis, hsematuria (renal or vesical), purpura hemorrhagica and the 
hemorrhage of scurvy. It is also indicated in the hemorrhage of typhoid 
fever, in dysentery with bloody defecations, in serous diarrhoea and in 
bleeding hemorrhoids. Some authorities advise the use of ergot with 
bromide of sodium in the treatment of diabetes insipidus. 

If we may believe that many nervous affections, such as neuralgia, 
insomnia, headache and pain in general, are due to the compression of 



228 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

delicate nerve filaments by engorged capillaries, it must needs follow that 
administration of Ergot — Purified — in the treatment of this class of dis- 
eases, will result in immediate or early relief, as it causes a general con- 
stringing of the capillaries; in fact, clinical experience in the majority of 
cases confirms this statement. The administration of small doses, fre- 
quently repeated, will therefore replace to a great extent the use of nar- 
cotics, etc., in the treatment of the various manifestations of neuralgic 
irritability. 

Various pathological conditions with which is associated either a local 
or general dilation of the capillaries, such as acute inflammations, delirium 
tremens, asthma, puerperal eclampsia, etc., may be most satisfactorily 
treated with Ergot — Purified— as this preparation will induce a uniformity 
in the calibre of the capillaries, establishing an equilibrium of blood 
supply, thus inducing equable metabolic processes, thereby rendering 
normal the nutrition of the various tissues. 

Therefore, in addition to the value of Ergot — Purified — in the treat- 
ment of the various phases encountered in obstetric and gynecologic 
practice, it will be found useful in the treatment of the numerous and 
varied conditions dependent, to a greater or less extent, upon some dis- 
turbance of the general equilibrium of the vascular system. 

Dose, — As required.

FEHLING'S TEST TABLETS. 

for the; rapid and accurate; estimation of sugar in the urine 
of diabetic patients. 

The methods generally followed in detecting the presence and deter- 
mining the quantity of diabetic sugar in urine by the use of an alkaline 
solution of cupric tartrate and other liquid reagents, though in the main 
giving correct results, are neither convenient nor very rapid of execution, 
as physicians who usually have a large amount of such testing to do have 
found. 

In compliance with requests from several medical friends, extensively 
engaged in urinary analysis, we are now manufacturing on a large scale 
compressed chemical tablets, representing the solid constituents of the 
well-known Test Solution of Fehling, which is that most frequently 
employed and yielding by far the most correct results. 

By the use of our very complete apparatus and appliances, devised and 
constructed especially for the purpose, we are enabled to secure a degree 
of precision and accuracy unattainable by ordinary means. 

The advantages in portability, saving of time and calculations, are 
obvious, and after a single trial the tablets will commend themselves at 
once to physicians, druggists, and others interested in the analysis of 
urine, syrup, etc. 

To DETECT THE PRESENCE OF SUGAR. — To a small quantity of urine, 
contained in a test tube, add the boiling Test Solution, drop by drop ; 
the mixture will then assume a turbid appearance, caused by the libera- 
tion of red cuprous oxide, which will deposit on standing. 

To determine THE exact quantity OF sugar. — Dilute sixteen 
minims of the Test Solution with one fluidrachm (4 c. c.) of distilled 
water, and in another vessel dilute sixteen minims (1 c. c.) of urine with 
enough distilled water to measure one hundred and sixty minims (10 c. c) . 
Boil the Test Solution and add the diluted urine until the blue color is 
completely discharged. The quantity of the latter employed is divided 
by ten, and the result represents pure urine, containing one-twelfth grain 
(0.005 gm.) of sugar. 

TO PREPARE FEHUNG'S TEST SOLUTION. 

Directions. — First : Dissolve the Caustic Soda in sufficient water to 
measure fifty minims. Second : Dilute two minims of the Solution of 
Soda with twelve minims of water, and in this dissolve one of each ot 
the tablets (Nos. I and 2) with the aid of heat. 

Sixteen minims (1 c. c.) of this solution are decolorized, with pre- 
cipitation of red copper oxide, by the addition of one-twelfth grain 
(0.005 gm.) of glucose contained in urine, etc. The tablets must be kept 
in well-stopped bottles and in a dry place. Bottles containing twenty-five 
tablets, with directions for use, will be mailed on receipt of twenty cents. 



FOOD, PREPARED— WYETH'S. 

Of late years, much time has been expended in scientific physiologic 
research in the attempt to prepare by artificial means a good substitute for 
mother's milk. Though obviously nature's food, and therefore considered 
by all authorities the best infant food under normal conditions, mother's 
milk is so variable in quality that it is often unfit for the nourishment of 
the infant. The elements that compose an infant's food mus' retain their 
integrity and relative proportions as food materials that the infant may 



230 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. 

be properly nourished and maintained in a state of growing vigor. Fluc- 
tuation of the mother s health frequently causes marked variations in the 
quantity of the elementary constituents. 

Researches in physiologic chemistry, and exhaustive analyses of human 
milk at different periods of lactation, have establ.shed the fact that mal- 
nutrition of infants is generally due to excessive fluctuations of the pro- 
portion of proteids, fats and carbohydrates in the milk, caused by the 
mother living on unsuitable food or undergoing at times depressing or 
exciting emotions. Uuder such circumstances — that is, when there may 
be too large a proportion of proteids or too small a proportion of fats and 
carbohydrates in the milk an infant takes from its mother — the evidences 
of imperfect nutrition are apparent, the infant quickly sharing in any 
disturbance of the mother's health. 

The number of cases in which mother's milk must be replaced by other 
methods of feeding is rapidly increasing, as many women are unable to 
nurse their own infants ; furthermore, the wet-nurse, formerly the substi- 
tute for the mother, is usually unfitted to properly nourish the infant. 

Many physical causes tend to make mother's milk unsuited for the 
infant. Briefly, these are : 

1. Specific and contagious diseases. 

2. Tuberculosis or any well-marked cachexia. 

3. Poor nutrition, showing itself in the inferior quality and quantity 
of the milk. 

4. Chronic degenerative diseases, such as albuminuria, chorea, 
Graves's disease, neuritis, etc. 

When we consider the number of women belonging to one or another 
of the above categories who are prevented from nursing their infants, the 
value of a good, reliable artificially prepared food becomes at once appar- 
ent. In other cases, where these specific causes interfering with nursing 
do not exist, but where the physiologic influence of the emotions on the 
mammary secretions is such as to alter the composition of the milk, and 
even in some instances convert it into a direct poison to the offspring, the 
welfare of the infant unquestionably demands a change. It is evident 
from these facts that a good artificially prepared infant food is most 
desirable. 

Cow's milk is probably most frequently substituted for mother's milk 
in those' cases in which it is impracticable to employ the latter ; but Dr. 
Henry Ashby {Medical Chronicle, August 1897) states that "it is 
doubtful if cow's milk can be employed so as to make it exactly resemble 
mother's milk, for the proteids of the former differ unquestionably from 
those of the latter, both in quality and in quantity." While mother's 
milk contains, on an average, nearly one and five-tenths per cent, of pro- 
teids — of which about one-third is casein and the other two-thirds the 
soluble and readily digestible lactalbumin — cow's milk contains nearly 
four per cent, of proteids, of which four-fifths is the insoluble and not 
easily digestible casein and only about one-fifth lactalbumin. In other 
words, breast milk contains about one per cent, lactalbumin and five- 
tenths per cent, of casein, while cow's milk contains only about eight- 
tenths per cent, of lactalbumin but three and two-tenths per cent, of 
casein. 

It has been the experience of many physicians identified with the sub- 
ject of infant-feeding that cow's milk is niuih more indigestible than 
mother's milk, and Courant {Revue de Therapeulique Mldico-chirurgi- 
cale, juillet 1892) states that " one reason wiry cow's milk is not so easily 
digested by infants is that the casein formed hy the action of the curdling 
ferment of the gastric juices is dense and tough, while that foimed from 
human milk is flaky." According to Taube and Escherich, even the 
acids of the stomach are apt to convert crude milk into tough, heavy

curds. In fact, this is certain to happen unless the milk is first suitably 
diluted with water and cereals. 

Cow's milk contains bacteria, some of which are pathogenic, and a 
large proportion of diarrhceal diseases depend upon saprophytic bacteria ; 
and cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, tuberculosis and scarlatina may be 
transmitted by this medium. This bacterial contamination may result 
from disease in the cow, from the milker's hands or from unclean cans or 
jars. In fact, there exists a very close connection between diarrhceal dis- 
eases of summer and contaminated milk. 

The sterilization of milk, if continued over a prolonged period at a 
high temperature, will destroy all germs except the spores, though the 
boiled milk is not absolutely sterile, as is commonly supposed. When 
exposed to a r it is more liable to rapid infection by bacteria than ordinary 
milk. High-temperature sterilization changes the taste to that of boiled 
milk, which many children do net like; it also renders the milk consti- 
pating and the casein more difficult of digestion. Furthermore, the nutri- 
tive properties of the milk are impaired ; for it is an undisputed fact that 
the use of sterile milk as the sole diet for a long time is not infrequently 
followed by scurvy. 

In the manufacture of Wyeth's Prepared Food — composed of milk, 
malt and cereals — we have adopted the well-established principles of infant- 
feeding. The digestive organs of an infant ai e adapted only to the diges- 
tion of the elementary proteids, fats and carbohydrates ; and as our Food 
is composed of these nutritive elements, carefully selected and scientific- 
ally combined, we unhesitatingly recommend it as a safe and wholesome 
diet for infants and a reliable substitute for mother's milk, for it is not 
susceptible to the changes in quality and proportion of nutritious ele- 
ments to which mother's milk is liable. 

Special attention is directed to a few important facts which render 
Wyeth's Prepared Food distinct from and superior to other artificial foods. 

First. The milk employed is not a commercial condensed article of 
doubtful composition, but is perfectly fresh and carefully evaporated to 
prevent any possible change, thus securing indefinitely the fresh odor and 
taste so essential in a child's or invalid's food. 

Second. The cereals employed are the finest wheat and barley grains 
obtainable, containing the nutritious elements in a highly soluble and 
easily assimilable form. 

Third. The diastatic malt is so potent, and prepared with such abso- 
lute cleanliness and care, that an extract is obtained which will convert 
many times its own weight of starch material. 

Fourth. It is not preserved or rendered aseptic by the addition of 
chemicals, often employed in food preparations, which addition nullifies all 
claims to a healthful and pure product of nature. 

In this Prepared Food the three valuable elements named are combined 
in such proportions that an ideal food is insured, suited to all ages, cases 
and requirements. When prepared warm with either water or milk, the 
natural digestive principles at once become active, and the starch element 
of the Food is rendered soluble and converted into maltose, which is most 
important in the feeding of delicate or very young infants, who have not 
the starch-converting function strongly developed. 

We would direct particular attention to the very important fact that the 
administration of Wyeth's Prepared Food is not followed by such distress- 
ing symptoms as vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, so liable to occur 
when a simple starch food, milk alone or plain malt foods are taken. 

We cannot emphasize too strongly the claim that this is not a predi- 
gested food, but that it will be digested at the proper time in the natural 
way — that is. shortly after being taken — all other foods of this character 
requiring a vigorous or healthy stomach to digest them. 



232 Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. 

It is, however, not only an infant's food, but will be found invaluable 
for adults and invalids as a daily diet or as an adjunct to other foods, aiding 
in their assimilation and digestion ; and being composed, as stated, 
entirely of milk, malt and cereals, it will insure complete nutrition with- 
out the aid of other diet. It may, if desired, be added to milk (pure or 
diluted), to gruel, oat-meal or other farinaceous food. In fact, there is no 
food or beverage for breakfast more nourishing, strengthening, digestible 
and wholesome. It may be sweetened with sugar or flavored or salted 
according to taste. 

Where there is great exhaustion resulting from low forms of fever, and 
in all cases in surgical wards, where speedy nutrition is desirable, it will 
afford continued sustenance and strength, due to its rapid assimilation 
and absorption. 

The cereals present having been so treated during the process of manu- 
facture as to render them readily digestible, Wyeth's Prepared Food may 
be taken to advantage in either cold, lukewarm or hot water or milk, or 
even in the form of the dry powder. 

Wyeth's Prepared Food, as a nutrient, tonic and stimulant, is of ines- 
timable value to those suffering from the effects of prolonged brain-work, 
the exhaustion resulting from long walks or shopping and as a substitute 
for coffee, tea or other stimulants. 

DIRECTIONS. — For infants under two months of age, one heaped des- 
sertspoonful of Wyeth's Prepared Food dissolved in about four ounces 
(a gill) of hot water or milk, or equal quantities of water and milk, may 
be given every two or three hours. During the third and fourth months, 
one and one-half to two heaped dessertspoonfuls of the Food to six ounces 
(one and one- half gills) of hot water or milk, or equal quantities of water 
and milk, may be given at each feeding ; but with babies from four to six 
months old the quantity of Prepared Food may be increased to a heaped 
tablespoonful and water or milk proportionately. For older children 
(over six months of age) the quantity of Wyeth's Prepared Food may be 
still further increased to two heaped tablespoonfuls, the proportions and 
quantities of the Food and the water or milk to be determined largely by 
the mother or nurse, bearing in mind that the older and stronger the child 
the greater will be the proportion of Prepared Food required to insure its 
healthy physical condition and development. Sugar or salt may be added 
to suit the taste. 

For Invalids, Dyspeptic Patients and Nursing Mothers. — Being com- 
posed of milk, malt and cereals, this Prepared Food contains everything 
requisite for the nourishment of the adult as well as the child in a state of 
robust health, and for invalids and convalescents it is invaluable, being 
easily digested, gently stimulating and appetizing. As a diet in a great 
number of diseases accompanied with symptoms of debility and inani- 
tion it will prove most satisfactory. The cases for which it is best adapted 
are fevers, such as typhoid and malarial, diarrhoea, cholera infantum, 
colic, wasting, etc. When prepared with milk and cream, and taken in 
addition to the ordinary meals of healthy adults, it is very fattening and 
is strongly recommended to those who wish to increase their weight ; and 
where the digestive organs have lost their power of digesting ordinary 
foods, it will accomplish admirable results. 

In cases of convalescents, where the stomach is assuming its normal 
condition, as also for nursing mothers, the Food may be taken boiled with 
milk, while for more delicate persons and very weak patients it should be 
mixed with hot water only and kept in a warm place for from one-half to 
one hour before boiling, that it may be partially converted and digested by 
the action of the diastase before reaching the stomach. Later, after the 
patient has become accustomed to the Food, milk may be added, gradually 
increasing to all milk. The quantity of Prepared Food to be used in such 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 233 

cases is two heaped tablespoonfuls at a time, gradually increasing to three 
or four heaped tablespoonfuls, as the strength of the invalid may warrant. 

For Travelers, Tourists and Bicsiness Men. — It will be found invalu- 
able as an instantaneous lunch and to relieve fatigue due to over- exertion 
or continued office-work. 

For the tourist who cannot readily procure milk, this Food may be used 
to great advantage and will be found very sustaining and invigorating, and 
for ocean travel it is particularly well adapted, the stomach so often being 
in such a precarious condition as to preclude the use of any kind of solid 
food. In these cases an occasional draught of this Food, given preferably 
with water, will be most beneficial. 

General Directions for Preparing the Food for Adults, or as a Stock 
Mixture for Further Dilution. — Wyeth's Prepared Food, 4 heaped table- 
spoonfuls (by weight, 2 ounces) ; hot water, 1-2 pint (8 ounces). Pour 
the Food into a cup, add the hot water gradually so as to make a smooth 
paste. When all the water has been added, heat the mixture and let boil 
a few minutes, stirring continually to prevent the Food from burning. 
After boiling, measure this mixture, and, if it has lost bulk, bring it up to 
fully one-half pint by adding enough hot water. If the Food is wanted 
entirely predigested, set it aside in a warm place, just after the hot water 
has been added, for one-half to one hour, stirring occasionally, and only 
boil the Food after the above named time has elapsed. This stock 
mixture will keep well for twelve to twenty-four hours on ice or in a cool 
place. It may be warmed again when it is to be used, and, if intended for 
infants, may be diluted with hot milk to any desired degree. For 
instance, for an infant under two months of age take one ounce (two 
tablespoonfuls) of this stock mixture and dilute it with three ounces (six 
tablespoonfuls) of hot milk. For an infant of four months take two 
ounces (four tablespoonfuls) of this stock mixture and dilute it with four 
ounces (eight tablespoonfuls) of hot milk. If intended for older children 
or invalids, this stock mixture may be taken full strength ; and to make a 
very rich, tasty and most nutritious food add one to two tablespoonfuls of 
cream to it after boiling. 

GLYCEROLE IRON CHLORIDE (Non-Alcoholic). 

Each fluidounce represents sixty minims Tincture Iron Chloride. 

Submitted to the usual chemical test, it develops the reaction character- 
istic of a true ferric salt, ascontasled with a reduced (ferrous) salt. 

Morever, while retaining all the virtues of the Tincture of Iron Chlo- 
ride, so essential in many cases in which no other salt of iron (the acid 
hydrochloric itself being most valuable) can be substituted to insure the 
results desired, it is absolutely free from the objections hitherto urged 
against that medicament, being non-irritant, and will deservedly occupy 
an important therapeutic position in cases where iron is indicated. It has 
no hurtful action upon the enamel of the teeth, even after long exposure. 

In offering to the medical profession the above described elegant phar- 
maceutical product, a word may be added in relation to the wide range of 
application to which it is adapted. Its preparation has received the great- 
est care in our laboratory, having aimed to produce a preparation that 
would be efficacious as well as pleasant in the treatment of diseases to 
which this form of iron is adapted, and in this desire we have fully 
realized our most sanguine expectations. 

Whether viewed from a therapeutical or chemical standpoint, it will 
be found infinitely superior to any product of this character now in the 
market, and we earnestly desire the profession to submit it to the test of 
clinical experience.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Compatibility. — Glycerole Iron 
Chloride (Wyeth's) is compatible with the following alkaloids: qui- 
nine, atropine, codeine, strychnine and caffeine. It is also compatible 
with the following salts and preparations : morphine hydrochlorate, 
ammonium hydrochlorate, cocaine hydrochlorate, potassium hydro- 
chlorate, antifebrin, antipyrin, phenacetin, salicin, santonin, etc. 
Hydrochlorates and nitrates can be added only in small proportions ; 
sulphates and acetates not at all. It is freely miscible in water in all 
proportions. 

TEST. — Potassium ferricyanide in solution added to a small portion 
of Glycerole Iron Chloride (Wyeth's), changes it from a reddish-yellow 
to a green color (test for ferric salt) , while the same added to a ferrous 
salt results in a blue reaction. Preparations of iron are more or less 
affected by exposure to the direct rays of sunlight, a fact which must be 
borne in mind concerning this product. 

Dote. — Glycerole Iron Chloride (Wyeth's) may be given in doses 
ranging from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, an ordinary teaspoonful 
representing eight to ten drops (approximately four to five minims) of 
the Tincture.

GLYCEROPHOSPHATES COMP.-WYETH 
(no Sugar). 

The therapeutic value of the glycerophosphates has been clearly 
demonstrated by clinical tests conducted by the most eminent specialists 
at home and abroad. They have grown in favor, until now they are 
recognized as almost indispensable in the treatment of those affections 
requiring the use of phosphorus in its most available form, combined with 
the metallic bases, such as lime, sodium, iron manganese, as well as the 
vegetable salts of quinine and strychnine. We are confident medical men 
will find Wyeth's Glycerophosphates Compound the most desirable prepa- 
ration of any yet suggested for the administration of the glycerophos- 
phates — perhaps the most efficient combination as a general tonic and to 
supply the waste of elementary matter that could be prescribed. 

It is a well-known fact that phosphorus .exists in the brain, nervous 
system and all vital organs in the form of glycerophosphoric acid, its salts 
and compounds, of which lecithin is the most important. In the latter 
form it plays an important part in the vital processes, which have for 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribiyig. 235 

their function the reproduction of life and maintenance of metabolism. 
Robin, of France, -with this fact in mind, conducted a series of experi- 
ments, in which he proved that phosphorus administered in the form of 
glycerophosphates is more readily absorbed and appropriated by the vari- 
ous tissues than many other forms of phosphorus. This experimenter 
has published some striking results with the glycerophosphates in neu- 
rasthenia, nervous depression, convalescence from grippe, chlorosis and 
albuminuria. In the maladies of old age, in impotence, etc., he prefers 
these salts to the testicular juice, whose power in these cases is due to the 
phosphorus it contains. 

As remedies in nervous and general debility, the glycerophosphates 
are of practical utility, as they contribute phosphorus, an essential con- 
stituent of nerve tissue, to the nervous system. In that troublesome and 
too frequent disease of modern life, neurasthenia, a disease characterized 
by a deficiency of phosphates in the nerves, they are especially valuable, 
whether the malady results from- overwork, worry, town life or any other 
of its multitudinous causes. In such cases the glycerophosphates have 
come to be considered indispensable, for tbey alone of the constituents of 
nervous tissue attract thither oxygen and the nutriments in the blood 
current, oxygen being by far the most important, without which the life 
of cells and tissues, both nervous and muscular, must languish and be 
extinguished. In paralysis they have accomplished excellent results. 
Their efficacy here is probably due to their nutritive effect upon the nerve 
cells. 

In that large group of maladies characterized by faulty nutrition due 
to the excessive elimination of phosphorus from the body, as is evidenced 
by the fatigue and weakness following acute attacks and present in many 
chronic affections during the course of fevers and in the later stages of 
phthisis and all diseases of the nervous system, physicians will find of 
great value the tonic chalybeate properties of this preparation, combined 
with its general muscular and nerve reconstructant properties. 

Guided by the experience of eminent authorities, we suggest the 
administration of the glycerophosphates for a sufficient time and in 
proper quantity to correct structural changes and secure proper assimila- 
tion of the materials of nerve nutrition in all chronic wasting diseases, in 
the premature advance of age and in the various forms of nervous debility. 
Physicians will appreciate that, in order to insure the best results, all the 
advantages afforded by appropriate hygiene should be utilized. Many 
medical men who have prescribed the glycerophosphates with marked 
advantage, both here and abroad, insist that all alcoholic and vinous 
stimulants should be renounced, the use of tobacco in all forms reduced to 
a minimum, if not wholly given up, coffee and tea used only occasionally, 
and excesses of all kinds cease. The physician will necessarily be guided 
by individual conditions, temperaments or idiosyncrasies. By taking 
proper physiological exercise in walking, or by such special methods as 
experience has shown to be most useful, and by spendiug as much time in 
the open air as the exigencies of business or social life permit, the best 
results may be obtained. 

We offer the glycerophosphates in the form of a solution, without 
sugar, as in many diseases where they are of great value the process of 
digestion is impaired, and sugar, therefore, contraindicated. Wyeth's 
Glycerophosphates Compound (no Sugar) , owing to its palatability, will 
prove acceptable to the most delicate and sensitive patient, and may be 
given for a continued time without producing any untoward gastric 
symptoms, but rather aiding digestion and nutrition. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls in a little water, taken 
three times a day before meals. For children, ten drops to a half tea- 
spoonful in a little water, as may be directed by the attending physician.

GLYKAOLIN. 

PASTA AI.UMINI SIUCATIS COMP. 

This preparation — Pasta Alumini Silicatis Cotnposita, or which may 
perhaps be more conveniently designated Glykaolin — has been designed, 
as the name indicates, for the purpose of utilizing in convenient form the 
peculiarly valuable therapeutic properties of its constituents. It is a 
compound of aluminum silicate, salol and glycerine so combined as to 
produce a perfectly smooth paste, easily applied and entirely free from 
the many objections so frequently urged by physicians to the application 
of ointments, salves, plasters, fly-blisters, etc. 

Our attention was first directed to the value of aluminum silicate for 
the reduction of inflammation some twenty-five years ago by Dr. Addi- 
neli, Hewson, since which time it has attracted the attention of many 
prominent medical men, for whose prescriptions we have continued to 
supply it. 

The technical advantages of Glykaolin will be at once apparent to the 
physician, who will recall the not uncommon experience of increased 
irritation provoked upon inflamed surfaces following the application of 
salves and similar preparations having a fatty excipient. The fatty prin- 
ciples of salves, whether of animal or vegetable origin, when kept for any 
length of time, frequently undergo oxidation, resulting in the develop- 
ment of irritating acids. Oxidation, or the decomposition of Glykaolin 
into irritating products, is a chemical impossibility, but, on the contrary, 
it retains its bland, unirritating, soothing properties in any climate for an 
indefinite period. In removing salves, ointments, plasters, etc., from 
exposed, abraded and inflamed surfaces the physician experiences both 
difficulty and annoyance, subjecting the patient to consequent irritation. 
Glykaolin may be readily removed from any surface by the simple appli- 
cation of water, without subjecting the patient to any pain or annoyance ; 
at the same time it possesses detergent properties, in which particular it 
is unique, distinguishing it from all other modes of topical treatment. 
In many cases it dispenses at the same time with the necessity of the 
usual forms of dressings and bandages, since it embodies in itself the 
qualities of all these and supplies as well a means of support and com- 
pression, easing and protecting the part affected. It is to be preferred 
to any of the ordinary forms of poultices or dressings, since a renewal of 
application is never necessary oftener than twice a day, and in many 
cases much less frequently, as the physician may feel is warranted, 
whereas poultices, ointments, salves and similar dressings must be con- 
stantly changed, subjecting the patient to the likelihood of an application 
varying not only in temperature but as to its constituents as well. Then, 
too, the inconvenience, discomfort and difficulty of cleansing without 
injury to the patient is studiously to be avoided ; and we are confident 
that delicate, abraded or inflamed surfaces, such as those to which it 
has been the custom heretofore to apply this class of preparations, will 
respond most gratefully to the application of Glykaolin, which in its 
technical aspects presents such a decided advantage and contrast to the 
time-honored but greasy, ineffective class of preparations referred to. 

Great and important as are its technical advantages, it is in its thera- 
peutic aspects that we find Glykaolin has its chief claim for very general 
use, as will be demonstrated when the physician considers carefully the 
therapeutic properties of its constituents — the peculiar absorptive and at 
the same time bland properties of the aluminum silicate, of which it is 
not too much to say that when brought in contact with serous, purulent 
and sanguineous deposits, the result of inflammatory processes, absorp- 
tion begins at once, leaving the affected part free for the operation of 
the recognized resolvent, hygroscopic, emollient and antiseptic properties 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 237 

of the glycerine and the equally well known alterative, prophylactic, 
antiseptic and anodyne properties of the salol, to which should be added 
as well its remedial influence upon deep-seated tissues through osmotic 
distribution ; so that we have in Glykaolin a compound which may be 
variously indicated. It will be found of inestimable value in the treat- 
ment of open wounds, indolent ulcers, boils, inflamed or gathered breasts, 
erysipelatous eruptions, applied to which the results are as prompt as 
they are gratifying to physician and patient alike. Not only is this the 
case, but relief as well is soon to be noted in deeper-seated affections, such 
as pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, peritonitis, periostitis, synovitis ; and 
applied to hemorrhoids, sprains, burns, felons and those minor but annoy- 
ing troubles — sunburn and bites or stings of insects — the results are both 
speedy and gratifying. 

By its prompt use the propagation of inflammation to surrounding 
tissues by continuity may be arrested, as in erysipelas of the skin for 
example, or by contiguity, which, as in phlegmonous erysipelas, may 
involve cellular tissue, muscle and other textures. In such states, and 
indeed in all its indications, the inateries morbi is. removed by absorp- 
tion, as above pointed out, or destroyed by the antiseptic or the resolvent 
properties of Glykaolin. The integrity of the capillary circulation is 
restored and the affected part resumes its normal state. 

It is a matter most important to observe that as the logical result of 
the properties and uses of Glykaolin, as above explained, in many cases 
where under ordinary circumstances internal medication would be at 
once indicated, to be accompanied as heretofore with local application 
of salves, ointments, plasters or similar means, under local treatment by 
Glykaolin such a proceeding is entirely unnecessary. A prompt applica- 
tion of this preparation, as will be readily seen by a study of its proper- 
ties, will in many cases prove entirely efficient to prevent any systemic 
disturbance, and is, in short, when properly applied, the only necessary 
therapeutic procedure. On the other hand, should other and independent 
ailments demand the physician's attention and internal medication, such 
internal treatment may be carried on without the slightest risk of any 
interference from the Glykaolin. 

The foregoing brief statement of the technical and therapeutic advan- 
tages of Glykaolin would be incomplete were we to fail to point out, 
suggestively, its availability as an excipient for the exhibition of other 
synergistic, remedial substances, not a few of which will at once occur to 
the experienced practitioner in the course of practice. In the treatment 
of many cases, often obscure in their origin and frequently difficult to 
diagnose, including many malignant growths, Glykaolin will at once 
suggest itself as a base for the exhibition of arsenic and its compounds. 
It may then be used successfully and surely as a sole remedy, as an adju- 
vant to other remedies or as a base, which cannot be excelled, for other 
and entirely independent remedies. 

Directions. — Before applying, Glykaolin should be warmed, being 
careful that no water is allowed to come in contact with the preparation ; 
it should then be spread about a quarter of an inch thick on the affected 
part, being careful always to have the application rather too heavy than 
too light, and the part then wrapped with a suitable piece of linen or 
cotton goods. Wherever possible, it should be applied to the affected 
part, although in cases where the part is difficult of access the prepara- 
tion may first be spread upon the cloth and then applied. 

Usually the whole part affected should be well covered, as in cases of 
pneumonia or bronchitis the entire breast and back should be encased. 

For convenience of physicians, and that their prescriptions may be 
filled with original packages, we have arranged to supply Glykaolin in 



238 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " whett prescribing. 

three sizes of packages, indicated as "Small," " Large " and '■'Hospital 
Size," the small package holding eight onnces, the large package sixteen 
ounces and the hospital size two pounds, all of which are readily obtain- 
able through the wholesale and retail drug trade. 

GLYKAOLIN, PICRATED. 

The great success which has attended the use of acid picric in the 
treatment of burns and scalds, and the prominence recently given it in 
this connection by medical authorities, have suggested to us the desira- 
bility of combining it with Glykaolin, in which form we now offer it 
under the title of Picrated Glykaolin (Pasta Alumini Silicatis Comp. cum 
Acidum Picricum), thus adapting it particularly for application in such 
cases. As this preparation has had thorough clinical test in hospitals and 
factories, where burns and scalds are of frequent occurrence, and the 
reports in each instance have been entirely satisfactory, we commend it 
to the consideration of our medical friends. 

Dr. C. W. Allen, in Pediatrics, refers to its use for burns, stating 
" he knows of no better local remedy for burns of the first and second 
degree than acid picric : it has the effect of giving almost immediate 
relief from pain, and healing takes place rapidly after its use." 

From American Medicine we quote the following statement : " Dur- 
ing the last two or three years many writers have testified to the value of 
acid picric as an antiseptic, sedative and keratoplastic agent in various 
inflammatory affections of the skin. It has proven especially valuable in 
superficial burns, acute eczema and herpes zoster. For a few minutes 
there is some smarting, but this soon gives way to a sense of relief. The 
advantages claimed for this treatment in burns are simplicity, painless- 
ness, rapidity of healing, minimum of suppuration and a smoother cica- 
trix than is obtained with other methods. It should not be employed in 
old, deep or suppurating burns." 

Eminent foreign authorities also submit testimonials of the virtue of 
acid picric. According to M. Pouchet {Rep. de Phar., 1895) the anal- 
gesic properties of acid picric have been known for a long time, himself 
having employed it as early as 1869 in his laboratory for treating slight 
burns accidentally received. In extensive burns, especially of the face and 
body, compresses saturated with acid picric are used, according to Pharm. 
Centralhalle, 1897. These compresses are covered with absorbent cotton, 
taking care to use material not impervious to water, as the solution is 
intended to dry through absorption and evaporation. The dressing is 
changed every third day, later at longer intervals. Before applying the 
dressing care should be exercised in opening the pustules caused by the 
burn and emptying them without removing the epidermis. In burns of 
the first degree a cure is usually effected within three to four days. 

Besides its use in burns, acid picric is also useful, according to Thiery, 
in eczema, fissures of the nipples, frost-bites, perspiring and sore feet and 
bisters caused by application of vesicants such as cantharides. Papa- 
zoglon {Rep. de Pharm., 1886) uses a one-half-per-eent. solution of acid 
picric. If the burns are very extensive the patient is plunged directly in 
an acid-picric bath. In minor burns the burn is first washed with a little 
acid-picric solution, then the pustules are opened and compressed slightly 
with a little cotton to press out the watery contents, taking care not to 
remove the epidermis ; after this the real bandage is applied. The acid 
picric acts antiseptically and chiefly as an analgesic. The application is, 
according to FlLLCUL, free from any danger of poisoning, the only objec- 
tion being its staining properties. Delpech also states that acid picric is 
non-toxic and that even large surfaces may be treated without any danger 
of poisoning.

As to the use of acid picric in eczema, Gaucher used it as a one-per- 
cent, solution applied every two days, and states that it is very beneficial 
in these cases, subduing the itching sensations. (Soc. M£d. des Hop. de 
Paris.) 

To remove acid-picric stains M. Sabatier (Presse Medicale, July 19, 
1902) recommends the immersion of the stained hands, etc , in a ten-per- 
cent, solution of benzoate of lithia, and we can recommend this method 
from our own experience. 

HAY FEVER TABLETS. 

PROMPT RELIEF AFFORDED BY THE USE OF COMPRESSED TABLETS 
OF COCAINE HYDROCHLORATE. 

A remedy for hay fever, to be curative or powerfully palliative, must 
accomplish one or both of two objects : it must arrest the local irritation ; 
it must prevent the reflex disturbance. It must so affect the nasal and 
faucial mucous membrane as to remove any special susceptibility that 
exists, and put the individual so affected in the state of the majority of 
the population who breathe with impunity air charged with irritating 
materials. That cocaine fulfills all these requirements clinical experience 
has abundantly proven. In fact, the remarkable success which has 
attended the use of cocaine in cases of hay fever is one of the most 
interesting developments in the therapeutical history of this surprising 
remedy. We have learned that mauy are marvelously relieved of their 
most distressing symptoms, and the disease, pro tempore, cured; others 
are much benefited, but the morbid action continues in a modified way. 

Wheiher the case of hay fever be a mild or severe one, the indications 
for the treatment remain the same. We cannot change the neuropathic 
constitution, but we may lessen the excitable condition of the nucleus 
of the fifth and of the pneuuiogastric nerves by suitable hygienic and 
dietetic treatment in the interim. As we are now concerned with the 
seizure itself, we omit from consideration all that relates to prophylactic 
treatment. As regards the attack, we are to consider the degree and 
method of relief which are affori ed by cocaine. 

Experience has shown that much depends on the manner in which this 
remedy is applied. When the membrane is pouring out an abundant 
secretion, the solution, as carefully applied as may be, fails to reach and 
act on the affected surface. Hence it is that the compressed tablets are 
so much more efficient. A tablet placed alongside the septum of the 
nose, or just posterior to the cartilage of the ala, dissolves gradually, and 
thus comes into contact with successive parts of the inflamed surface. 
Furthermore, the excipient with which the cocaine is combined favors 
its diffusion by its liquefying action on the tenacious mucus which covers 
the mucous membrane. 

The degree in which susceptible subjects are affected varies greatly. 
A few have nothing more than a trivial "cold in the head; " others, 
a severe catarrh which involves the nose, the eyes, the throat and 
Eustachian tube, with greater or less congestion of the nasal mucous 
membrane, and implication of the terminal filaments of the fifth and 
of the sympathetic nerves ensues ; hence the swollen state of the mem- 
brane, the acrid and abundant secretion (catarrh), the subjective distress 
and the formation of "sensitive areas." The sneezing, the asthmatic 
symptoms and other nervous phenomena are purely reflex effects readily 
explained by the anatomical relations of the affected nerves. Vuxpian 
had, long ago, shown that ablation of the sphenopalatine ganglion — a 
centre of the sympathetic nervous system — was speedily followed by a 
profuse catarrh of the nasal mucous membrane. The nucleus of the 



240 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 

fifth nerve has close physiological relations, if not actual commissural 
connections, with the nucleus of the pneumogastric nerve. Hence a 
reflex disturbance, originating in the terminals of the fifth nerve, may 
thus involve the terminals of the pneumogastric nerve and its associated 
nervous connections, causing, among other nervous disturbances, asth- 
matic symptoms. 

Cocaine allays the heightened sensibility of the terminal filaments of 
the fifth nerve, distributed to the nasal mucous membrane. 

It lessens the congestion and diminishes the outpouring of mucus. 

It lowers the irritability of the nucleus of the fifth and of the pneu- 
mogastric or vagus nerves, and thus prevents or moderates the asthmatic 
attacks.

In one respect the action of cocaine is wanting, howsoever beneficial 
it may prove to be — that is, the antiseptic property ; but combination 
with remedies of the antiseptic group in the form of the ' ' nasal supposi- 
tory" has remedied this deficiency. The nasal suppository is a conical or 
cylindrical body, shaped to the capacity of the nasal passage, and con- 
taining the medicament incorporated in a mass with the unirritating and 
innocuous cacao butter. In such a suppository is included with cocaine 
the most effective antiseptic or germicide which experience will demon- 
strate to be most certainly destructive of the morbid germ, whose presence 
in the nasal passages determines the attack of hay fever. It will be 
remembered that HelmholTz, a great sufferer from the malady, acting 
on this conception of the nature of the disease, successfully used a solu- 
tion of quinine at the onset of the seizure. The nasal suppositories are 
prepared in various combinations, and contain such active germicides as 
iodoform, resorcin, corrosive sublimate, etc., with or without cocaine. 
If without, they can be used in alternation with tablets of the latter, and; 
if rightly timed, may happily succeed, as Helmholtz did, by acting on 
the morbific agent at the moment of its introduction, before it can diffuse 
through the passages.

KISSINGEN TABLETS— ARTIFICIAL 
(EFFERVESCING). 

(EOR THE EXTEMPORANEOUS PREPARATION OF ARTIFICIAL 
KISSINGEN WATER.) 

While we recommend the use of our Granular Effervescing Kissingen 
Salts (artificial) as the most satisfactory medium for the preparation of 
artificial Kissingen Water, following a demand made upon us by our many 
friends among the medical profession, we have arranged to supply the 
salts in the form of an effervescing tablet. 

Dose. — One or two tablets in a glass of water three times a day. 

LINSEED OIL EMULSION WITH HEROIN. 

Each ftuidounce of Emulsion contains 

Dilute Acid Hydrocyanic 2 1-fZ minims 

Heroin 4-25 grain 

Linseed Oil is an excellent substitute for cod liver oil in the treat- 
ment of all those cases which exhibit a repugnance for the latter, and the 
combination of the linseed oil with acid hydrocyanic in the form of a 
palatable emulsion with the heroin renders it of value in the treatment 
of tubercular cases, as the heroin exerts a beneficial effect upon the night 
sweats and does not impair the appetite, disturb digestion or cause a drug 
habit. This preparation is indicated in all cases of cough, whether due to 
chronic bronchitis or tubercular indications. 

Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful in water, wine or milk, to be 
repeated at such intervals as the attending physician may indicate. 

LIQUENZYME. 

ELIXIR OF THE DIGESTIVE FERMENTS. 

A PLEASANT AND PALATABLE SOLUTION OF THE DIGESTIVE FERMENTS, 
INCLUDING AMYLOPSIN, THE STARCH-CONVERTING ENZYME OF THE 
PANCREAS. 

One teaspoonful of this Elixir will digest 3000 grains of coagulated albumen 
in twenty-four ounces of water acidulated with one per c€nt. C. P. acid 
hydrochloric {equivalent to three-tenths per cent, of absolute acid hydro- 
chloric), at 10U° E., in four to six hours. One teaspoonful, if added to one 
quart of lukewarm milk, will quickly produce a firm curd. 

The importance of obtaining the digestive principles separately, while 
still retaining their original properties, has frequently been noted ; but 
great care and skilful manipulation are required in order to adapt them to 
the wants of the physician. Rapid advancement has been made in this 
department within the past few years, and chemists are now prepared to 
offer the physician a choice of the various constituents of the digestive

fluids, either in the dry state or in the form of concentrated solutions. 
The advantages of investigation in this line will be apparent to the physi- 
cian : knowing the special properties of the different active constituents, 
he is thus enabled to combine them in suitabe proportions for the pur- 
pose of meeting and overcoming the defects due to derangement of func- 
tion. In conjunction with a selected dietary and attention to hygiene, it 
is not unreasonable to assume that beneficial results will follow this plan 
of physiologic medication. 

As the composition of food-stuffs is complex, and their digestion 
requires the combined action of the several ferments, it seems manifest 
that to procure the most satisfactory results the latter should be adminis- 
tered together. This suggestion has been happily adopted in I,iquen- 
zyme, in which they are skilfully combined. The chief difficulty in the 
simultaneous administration of the pepsin and pancreatin to promote 
digestion, and in their combination in one preparation, lies in the differ- 
ence of reaction of the media in which they are res^ctively active. 
Though late researches have clearly established the fact that while pepsin 
operates in acid solutions and pancreatin is also slightly active in a mod- 
erately acid solution, it is a fact, nevertheless, that the latter does not 
assume its full digestive activity until it enters the alkaline media of the 
intestinal contents ; and in the preparation of this elixir the utmost care 
is exercised to have it conform to the chemical and physiological require- 
ments. That the powers of the pepsin and pancreatin are strictly pre- 
served is proved by the action of the elixir on proteids, converting them 
into peptones ; on starches, converting them into dextrine and grape 
sugar, and on fats, rendering them dialysable. 

A preparation of the composition of Liquenzyme must necessarily 
have an important place in medicine. When digestion is feeble, espe- 
cially during convalescence from acute illness, or is inefficient because of 
catarrh of the stomach, or needs the stimulation of an increased supply 
of ferments to dispose of increased food, in wasting disease, this elixir 
should be used. It is in fermentative indigestion, with offensive acid 
and gaseous eructations, that pepsin is most useful. In intestinal indi- 
gestion, catarrh of the intestine, flatulence with or without colic pains, 
in catarrhal jaundice arising from catarrh of the duodenum by contiguity 
of tissues, in membranous enteritis, in deficiency of the pancreatic juice 
and consequent imperfect emulsification of fats, we have conditions in 
which this elixir is indicated and from the administration of which may 
reasonably be expected the most satisfactory results. 

In those cases where derangement of the liver is a concomitant symp- 
tom, the continued use of minute doses of bichloride, biniodide or other 
mercurial salts may prove of great advantage, but this preparation will 
constitute a most valuable adjunct to the treatment. It will prove of 
service also in gastralgia, enteralgia, cholera infantum, enterocolitis, 
dysentery and in the vomiting of pregnancy. It is well adapted to the 
wants of nursing mothers and will also answer a useful purpose in cases 
of digestive disorders occurring in teething children. 

Liquenzyme may also be utilized to advantage in preparing pre- 
digested foods, such as peptonized milk and gruels, and the grateful and 
appetizing junkets, all of which will be more easily digested owing to 
the activity of our pepsin, which is employed in the manufacture of this 
product. The value of foods prepared in this way in cases of disease and 
during convalescence can hardly be overestimated, as they are in a con- 
dition ready for assimilation with very little exertion on the part of the 
enfeebled digestive apparatus. 

Liquenzyme may be administered with perfect safety to the most 
fastidious patient, to those with delicate stomachs and to children. It 
does not produce nausea, and is entirely free from bitterness or unpleasant

after-taste peculiar to medicines in general. Palatability is secured by 
appropriate and delicate flavoring, with slight acidity, which is carefully 
estimated according to normal gastric digestion. The prep ration is per- 
manent in ordinary climates, and loses none of its therapeutic properties 
from age. 

A special feature of this preparation should be mentioned : it curdles 
milk, and can therefore be used for making slip, whey or junket, pepto- 
nization taking place at the same time under the influence of the other 
digestive principles present in addition to the milk-curdling ferment. A 
teaspoonful will curdle one quart of milk in about twenty minutes, the 
milk having been previously warmed, not boiled. To increase its pala- 
tability for convalescents, it may be given with fruit or fruit juice, a 
different flavor being selected from clay to day, by which the monotony 
of a liquid diet is measurably relieved. 

Liquenzyme is especially adapted for those who are unable to digest 
milk. One or two teaspoonfuls should be given just before or immediately 
after drinking milk. Proportionate doses should be given infants who 
regurgitate curds. 

Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls a few minutes before meals, or a tea- 
spoonful three or four times a day when suffering from indigestion. For 
infants, from three to ten drops, according to age, mixed with their food, 
milk or gruel. 

LIQUID EXTRACT OF MALT. 

(SEE MALT EXTRACT, LIQUID.) 

LIQUID RENNET. 

Yields, with milk, the most luscious of all desserts, the lightest and 
most grateful diet for invalids and children. Milk contains every element 
of the bodily constitution ; when coagulated with Rennet, it is always 
light and easy of digestion, and supports the system with the least pos- 
sible excitement. The convenience and nicety of this article over the 
former troublesome and uncertain way of preparing slip, junket and 
frugolac will recommend it at once to all who use it. There are few 
desserts so economical, delicious and healthful. 

This preparation, made of the clear fresh Rennet of the calf, preserved 
with white wine, excels in purity of material, pleasant flavor and every 
desirable quality. 

Liquid Rennet is especially valuable in the summer season as a diet 
for invalids and children suffering from or threatened with the com- 
plaints incident to change of water, too free indulgence in fruit, or defi- 
cient nutrition. 

As a food, milk is highly nutritious, and when coagulated with Rennet 
gives yery mild, light and easily digested diets, devoid of stimulating 
properties. The addition of brandy, wine, spices, etc., increases the 
stimulant effect, and may be added when such effect is desired. 

Slip, Curds and Whey. — Add two teaspoonfuls to a p : nt of milk 
slightly warmed ; a firm curd will be produced in a few minutes. The 
addition of an egg to the milk, before adding the Rennet, gives an 
additional richness. 

Junket, Cold Custard. — To a quart of milk, warmed, add a table- 
spoonful each of sugar and brandy and two teaspoonfuls of Rennet ; stir 
only to mix, allow to cool, and flavor with nutmeg, as usual. More 
brandy and sugar may be added, if desired. 

Notice. — Good results, i. e., a firm curd, can only be obtained when 



244 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

the milk is properly heated. The exact temperature at which the firmest 
curd is made is 105 F. ; four or five degrees one way or the other will not 
interfere. If the milk used is too cold when the Liquid Rennet is added, 
or if it has been heated too much, or is watered milk, or milk preserved 
by the addition of chemicals, satisfactory curds are hard to obtain. 

General Directions. — Carefully warm the milk, stirring frequently 
to obtain a uniform temperature, using, if possible, a milk or farina 
boiler and a dairy thermometer. Bring the milk to the heat of the hand, 
or not over 105 F. For each pint of milk used add two teaspoonfuls of 
Liquid Rennet, stir rapidly for ten or fifteen seconds, pour it into the 
dish from which you intend to serve it and set it aside. 

LIQUOR DIASTASE COMP. 

Each fluidrachm contains

Diastase 2 grains 

A mylopsin 1-2 grain 

Trypsin 1-2 grain 

Acid Nitrohydrochloric, C. P. 1-2 minim 

Nux Vomica 1-U grain 

The amylopsin present possesses all the starch-digesting properties of 
ptyalin, the tecretion of the salivary glands. 

This preparation presents all of the gastric and pancreatic enzymes 
combined with nux vomica and acid nitrohydrochloric in pleasant and 
agreeable form, and will be found efficient in the treatment of all those 
disturbances of the digestive tract, whether gastric or intestinal, with 
which physicians have so frequently to contend. 

Dose. — One to two dessertspoonfuls, diluted with water, three or four 
times daily, preferably after meals. For children, in proportion.

Lithia, as an Alkali and Medicament. 

Physiological Properties of Alkalies.— The alkalies play such 
an important and beneficent role in therapeutics, the recent researches in 
science have been productive of so many new, interesting and valuable 
facts concerning these medicaments, that an adequate presentation of the 
matter seems called for. 

In general, it may be said that one alkali is like another in most par- 
ticulars, though some, like sodium, and, more notably of recent years, 
lithium, are found to have especial virtues, and are justly held superior 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 245 

to the others. But, turning for the present from this consideration 
to an examination of the physico-chemical properties of alkalies, we 
shall find that the study of the effects of these substances on the gastric 
juice and secretions, in digestive processes as a whole, reveals their 
peculiar virtues and powers. For instance, the salts of lithium (which 
may be taken as a favorite example of the properties of the alkalies in 
general) excite in a very marked degree the activity of mucous tissues, 
producing in the respiratory, intestinal and urinary tracts an abundant 
secretion. In the stomach, this activity of the secretory functions is most 
worthy of observation, and, indeed, most necessary to health. It was 
assumed, and correctly, as experiments have proved, that the presence of 
acid hvdrochloric, the most important constituent of healthy gastric juice, 
was greatly favored by the ingestion of an alkali ; for according to the 
law of the diffusion of liquids through membranes, the most satisfactory 
condition for such diffusion is the presence of an acid fluid on one side 
of the membrane and an alkaline fluid on the other. An alkali, taken into 
the stomach before a meal, should call this law into practical operation 
by starting the secretion of acid in the cells of the deeper mucoscz, and 
attracting the acid thence into the stomach to form salts in obedience to 
that force of attraction between acids and bases, known as "chemical 
affinity." 

As a matter of fact, this process of diffusion — of an acid into the 
stomach, an alkaline fluid into the blood current — really proceeds as 
assumed, and has been demonstrated in the most complete and satisfactory 
manner by Drs. Ijnossier and LE Moine. ( Archives generates de Mede- 
cine, 1893, vol. i, p. 660.) In their experiments on a soldier afflicted with 
merycism (a disease characterized by the habitual regorgement of food 
into the mouth to be ruminated, as in the case of herbivorous animals) , 
the effect of an alkaline dose taken before meals was accurately determined. 
One gramme of sodium bicarbonate was given an hour before eating. 
The effect upon the acid secretions was most striking. In the first hour 
of digestion the reaction of mineral acids rose from 2.06 g. to 2.41 g. 
During the second hour the acidity increased in an even more surprising 
manner, free acid hydrochloric reaching the high proportion of 0.9 instead 
of o. Daily doses of from 0.5 g. to 5. g. , repeated for fifteen days, had a 
regular and constant effect in stimulating the secretion of acid. In these 
investigations another circumstance of great importance was noted, viz., 
the solvent action of the alkali on mucus, which is often present in the 
stomach in excess, and has a sensible effect in retarding the disintegration 
of food. It was found, too, that the alkali hindered the processes of 
decomposition in the stomach, and that it acted mechanically in the 
"churning" process, that is, in promoting the intimate mixture of the 
food and the gastric juices. 

Alkalies promote intestinal digestion in much the same way, by 
helping the diffusion of the blood through the tissues, by increasing the 
alkalinity of the blood, the secretory activity of the liver, pancreas and 
gall passages, by preventing the precipitation of cholesterine. (Liebreich, 
Encyklopadie d Therapie, Bd. i, Abth. i, s. 91.) Alkalies are chiefly 
absorbed by the intestinal tract, notably by the duodenum. (Raudnitz, 
Archiv fi'ir Exp. Path. u. Pharni., xiv, p. 347.) The law of diffusion 
here comes obviously and prominently into play ; by the action of this 
law, the secretions of the intestines and coherent organs are necessarily 
called forth, causing an increased activity of their functions and the pro- 
duction of the peculiar elements of intestinal digestion, the bile, peptones, 
fatty acids, etc. Again, a rapid absorption of the alkali takes place in the 
intestines, or rather, the blood receives a quick and abundant amount of 
alkaline matter, by which its fluidity and tone are greatly improved and 
a singular power imparted to it of dissolving exudates and solid deposits 



246 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

in the joints, renal tubules and atheromatous arteries deposits over which 
alkalies have especial power, particularly lithia, whose solvent action is 
conceded to be much greater than that of the others. 

Therapeutic Uses. — It is evident from the results of Linossier that 
an alkali must be of the greatest utility in certain kinds of dyspepsia. 

1. Where there is an insufficiency of acid. 

2. Where an abundant mucus interferes with digestion. 

3. In "sour stomach," hyperacidity, pyrosis, decomposition of food 
ingested, etc. 

For these disorders the lithium citrate in an effervescing water is 
recommended as a delightfully invigorating and agreeable stimulant to 
the gastric juices. (Dujardin-Beaumetz.) 

In intestinal and liver diseases, it is highly recommended by many 
eminent authorities, particularly in gastro-intestinal catarrh, bilious 
sick-headache, and in the nausea that frequently accompanies those dis- 
orders. Lastly, it will be found to produce the most efficient results in 
duodenal dyspepsia, or slow digestion, and above all, in catarrhal jaun- 
dice. (Dujardin-Beaumetz, Lecons de Clin. Thir., t. i, p. 511; t. ii, 
p. 83 ;t. iii,p. 558.) 

In diabetes, according to the same authority, we possess in lithium the 
most precious of therapeutic agents. As a remedy in this disease, he pre- 
fers it to any other alkali. Martineau, a pupil of Dujardin-Beaumetz, 
reports wonderful results with lithium. He tried it in seventy cases of 
arthritic diabetes, with sixty-seven cures. It was demonstrated by 
Damiette and Hyades, as an explanation of the extraordinary powers 
of alkalies in these cases, that they effect cures by regulating the digestive 
functions, by improving the nutrition, and, according to Coignard, by 
diminishing the production of sugar on the part of the liver. (Les 
alkalins peuvent annihiler la fonction glycogdnique cbez les veg£taux ; ils 
en diminuent chez l'homme.) {Journal de Thir., vol. vii, p. 841.) Dami- 
ette et Hyades. {Bui. de Th&rapeutique, t. xc, viii.) 

In gout and rheumatism, diseases characterized by an excess of acid 
uric in the blood, by deposits in the joints, the salts of lithium are the 
most precious remedies. In these cases their popularity is attested by an 
immense amount of evidence from competent physicians. Dr. Garrod, 
who introduced lithium into therapeutics, recommends it in the follow- 
ing terms : " When given internally in doses of from one to four grains 
dissolved in water and repeated two or three times daily, it exerts a 
marked influence in cases where patients are voiding uric gravel, causing 
the formation of deposits to become less or cease altogether. In many 
instances in which I have administered it to gouty subjects the result has 
been to diminish the frequency of the attacks and altogether improve the 
condition of the patients. I am of opinion that the salts of lithium offer 
to the physician most valuable agents in these cases, as their alkalinising 
property is of the highest order and their solvent for acid uric or urates 
far greater than that of any other agents." {On Gout and Rheumatic 
Gout, p. 439.) Another authority in these affections, Sir Dyce Duck- 
worth, says, " Lithium salts are of great value in gout. . . . They form 
the most soluble of all salts of acid uric, and possess more neutralizing 
power than those of any other alkali. Five to ten grains of the citrate 
may be given, alone or combined with potassum salts. No harmful 
effects have been observed from its use." {On Gout, London, 1889, P- 361O 

This powerful solvent action of lithium salts over acid uric and the 
urates, noted by Garrod, was confirmed by his own subsequent experi- 
ences ; also by those of Lersch {Deutsche Klinik, 1861), of Dujardin- 
Beaumetz {loc. cit., t. iii, p. 509) , of Charcot {Maladies des Vieillards, 
GEuvres, t. viii, p. 281), and by the author of the article " Lithium " in 
the Diet, de Thirapeutique (t. iii, pp. 465-468) and by others. It is 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing . 247 

undoubtedly owing to this almost unique property of lithium salts that 
they are so efficacious in gout, rheumatic affections, both acute and 
chronic, in the uric acid diathesis, etc. 

There is another important circumstance in connection with this sub- 
ject of gout which was noted many years ago by Garrod {Med. Chir. 
Trs., 36, 1854) . He found that at least one-fourth of those afflicted with 
gout had sutfered previously from lead impregnation. These patients 
were chiefly workers in lead and painters. This fact, which was subse- 
quently frequently observed, led to a number of investigations which show 
that the impregnation of lead causes an excess of acid uric in the blood, 
and, though not always, yet in a considerable number of cases, an attack 
of gout, particularly of the joints. In such cases the solvent power of 
lithium salts over acid uric renders them peculiarly beneficial. With 
reference to the use of lithium here, as well as in the diseases of old age, 
Charcot says that though sodium and potassium are much valued as 
alkalies, lithium " appears in every respect superior." 

The effervescing tablets, recommended by Ewich, Rotjbaud, Buc- 
quoy, Paul and others serve this purpose more conveniently than the 
solutions. The use of the effervescing draughts is distinctly pleasant, 
invigorating and beneficial. Both Charcot and Dujardin-Beaumetz 
speak in the highest terms of the effects of lithium taken in this manner. 
The latter recommends the employment of a tablet in seltzer water as a 
delightful method of dosage. (Loc. cit., t. iii, p. 510.) According to 
Charcot (loc. cit., p. 251), it can be borne without ill effects for a long 
time. 

There is another condition of disease in which lithium exerts a 
powerful solvent action over deposits of a somewhat different kind. In 
cases where the precipitation of cholesterine has caused the formation of 
gall-stones, of brown gravel in the urine, lithium in small doses is of 
great benefit. CanTani, an eminent authority, approves highly the use 
of an alkali in such cases, attributing to it a threefold power — of dissolv- 
ing precipitates, of preventing the formation of stones, and of aiding in 
the evacuation of small stones. (Specielle Pathologie u. Therapie d. Stoff- 
wechsel-Krankheiten, Bd. iii, p. 125.) 

In connection with this subject, CanTani, as well as many others, 
speaks of the employment of the alkaline waters. They are valuable 
resources in the maladies of old age, in atherotna, habitual constipation, 
torpor of the liver and intestines, abnormal fermentatioii, etc. In all 
such cases, though the waters are useful, yet the effervescing tablets, 
especially where lithium is desired in suitable doses, are to be preferred ; 
for the springs, as a rule, contain lithium in such small quantities, and in 
such combinations, that the valuable properties of these salts are probably 
to a great extent lost. The waters, too, both alkaline and saline, should 
be used with caution, as they contain a great number of ingredients.

In combination with bromine, lithia is very effective, especially in 
insomnia, sick-headache, neurasthenia, pains of rheumatism and gout. 
For such troubles, the lithium bromide in closes of ten grains in water 
is very effective. Dr. S. Weir Mitchexi, has had excellent results with 
it. (Trs. Coll. Physicians of Phila., iv, 1894, p. 350.) Also, in the most 
elaborate and important study that we have of the actions and uses of 
this salt, Dr. LEW recommends it in the highest terms as a remedy in 
the insomnia of gout and gouty pains (where it is extremely effective) , in 
nervous crisis in epilepsy, chorea, etc. (Levy, These de Paris, 1894, 
p. 22.)

In prescribing lithium, particularly the carbonate, it must not be for- 
gotten that carbonic-acid water, as has been pointed out by Charcot and 
others, is the suitable medium. This is often troublesome ; it is, more- 
over, an expensive method. The Effervescing Lithium Citrate Tablets 
obviate all these objections and are vastly more convenient. The dose 
that is desired can in this manner be easily and correctly given. A tablet 
dropped into a tumbler of moderately cold water will in a few moments 
dissolve with decided effervescence, producing a delicious, stimulating, 
sparkling draught. Physicians will appreciate the convenience, utility 
and superior advantages this method of prescribing lithium salts pos- 
sesses over any other. 

As we have said, the natural lithia waters contain lithia in too small 
quantities (one to two and one-half grains to the gallon) , and often in 
unfavorable combinations ; so that the artificial lithia water prepared 
with the tablets is now almost universally employed, and has, moreover, 
as we have shown, the approval of the first physicians of the time. One 
or more of the compressed tablets, dissolvea in any quantity of water 
desired (a tumblerful, pint, quart or gallon), affords at once a water and a 
method by which the indicated doses can be easily, quickly and accurately 
taken. 

Our Compressed Effervescing Lithia Tablets are put up as follows : 
three-grain tablets in bottles of forty each, and the five-grain tablets in 
bottles of fifty each. The bottles should be kept well corked.

The very marked results of the clinical and hospital experiments of 
Dr. C. L. SCHLEICH have fully demonstrated the great value of his method 
of producing local anesthesia by infiltration. Through the courtesy of 
Prof. Parvin we have had access to Dr. Schleich 's work, from which 
we have culled the most important facts bearing on his experience. 
Following his suggestions, we have prepared from these formulae a series 
of Soluble Compressed Tablets, embracing all the various strengths desig- 
nated by this distinguished surgeon, as detailed in the complete report. 
The combination of cocaine, morphine and sodium chloride will at once 
serve to convince medical men of its value, and the results of its further 
extended use in the hands of other practitioners leaves no doubt of the 
practical utility of this method of entirely destroying sensation in not 
only minor operations, but can be depended upon in many cases of greater 
importance where ether and chloroform are contraindicated. 

The advantages of our Soluble Compressed Tablets are manifold. 
They are at once soluble, are made of the several desired strengths, are 
permanent and stable, the solutions can be prepared in a moment, the 
fear of septic infection from stale solutions is entirely removed, the 
operator can always be supplied with more than sufficient for any emer- 
gency, and the combined ingredients do not deteriorate or change by age 
or climatic influences. We feel there is a wide field for the use of this 
method, not only in the hands of the surgeon, but with the general prac- 
titioner, for the relief of local pain, and to the dentist they will prove 
an invaluable aid. 

The tablets are put up in tubes of twenty tablets each, in cases holding 
ten tubes, and also in larger packages, such as one hundred, five hun- 
dred and one thousand. 

We will be pleased to mail, on application, to physicians or druggists who may

MALT, DIASTASIC, PLAIN AND WITH 
COMBINATIONS. 

(SEE DIASTASIC MALT, PLAIN AND WITH COMBINATIONS.) 

MALT EXTRACT, LIQUID. 

CONTAINING ALL THE NUTRIENT PROPERTIES OF MALT, WITH THE 
LEAST POSSIBLE QUANTITY OF ALCOHOL. 

We claim that our Liquid Malt Extract contains the nutrition of the 
best Canadian barley malt in a higher degree than any liquid malt with 
which we have had an opportunity of comparing it, having at the same 
time the marked advantage that it is free from the stimulating effect which 
invariably follows the administration of ordinary malt extracts and malt 
liquors. 



250 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

It is not a beverage, but a most agreeable and valuable nutrient, tonic 
and digestive agent, rich in nutritious extractive matter, having a smaller 
proportionate percentage of alcohol than found in any liquid preparation 
of malt ; and since its introduction to the medical profession it has steadily 
grown in favor, and those who have given the subject of malt extracts the 
closest study and investigation are unanimous in their endorsement of the 
claims we have made for it. 

It is especially adapted for nursing mothers and children, as well as for 
patients suffering from nervous exhaustion, chilliness, etc., and particu- 
larly those unable to digest starchy food ; the diastase contained in our 
Malt renders such foods immediately soluble by converting the starch into 
malt-sugar and dextrine, in which form they are readily assimilattd by the 
system, thus creating animal heat and aiding in the formation of fat. 

Probably its greatest value is as a nourishing tonic during lactation, as 
it not only supplies strength to meet the unusual demands upon the sys- 
tem at that time, but it improves the quality of the milk by increasing 
the quantity of the sugar and phosphates, nourishing the infant and sus- 
taining the mother at the same time. 

In cases of consumptive tendencies and in the later stages of phthisis 
it improves the apaetite, promotes the assimilation of carbonaceous food, 
supplants the waste of elementary matter, thus fortifying the system and 
enabling it to better resist the undermining effects of the disease ; it also 
acts as a roborant in all cases of debility, and is a most valuable addition 
to the tonic and restorative treatment required in convalescence. 

A pure malt extract is a liquid bread which is in part predigested, and 
it is this quality which gives fermented liquors a large part of their 
assimilative value. From the malt the brewer makes his ale and beer by 
further converting starch into sugar and sugar into alcohol. He leaves 
some carbohydrates and albuminoids in his brewing, giving beer and ale 
their body, to that extent rendering them similar to malt extracts, but 
differing from the latter in that the primary and sometimes sole object is 
to produce a stimulant, while the nutriment is a matter of no importance, 
except that it enhances the quality of the brewing. The principal object 
of a malt extract, on the other hand, is the production of nutriment, the 
stimulant it may contain serving a threefold purpose — to preserve the 
liquid from fermentation, to increase its palatability, and, in an important 
sense, as a food. The difference is well displayed by those brewers who 
wish to make every possible penny out of their malt by c inverting all the 
carbohydrates into alcohol ; and while such beers are stimulating, they 
are not nutritious, as instanced by an English small beer and a cheap lager 
beer made in Brooklyn, N. Y.

In order to be most useful and effective an extract of malt should con- 
tain the bitter principles and aromatic constituents of the hop, as found 
in beer and ale of good quality, these constituents exerting a stomachic 
tonic influence, increasing the appetite, promoting the flow of gastric 
juice and preventing fermentative changes in saccharine and starchy- 
foods. Furthermore, these bitter and aromatic principles exert a curative 
influence in certain morbid states of the mucous membrane, of which 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 251 

catarrh is the chief, effecting the removal of the catarrhal process, pre- 
venting the formation of mucus and thus directly and indirectly pro- 
moting the transformation of the starchy constituents of foods. This, in 
fact, is a far more important function than the action of diastase, which, 
it must not be forgotten, rather favors the acetic fermentations of the 
starches by forming maltose. 

A good malt extract, the ultimate purpose of which is to promote 
assimilation, should contain a small amount of alcohol, too large a pro- 
portion tending to irritate the mucous membrane, to set up a catarrhal 
state and to impair, if not destroy, the powerof the gastric and intestinal 
ferments. On the other hand, the proper quantity of alcohol stimulates 
digestion and enables the patient to take a larger quantity of food. The 
elaborate researches of Dupre, ArsTie and others have shown that the 
organism of man has the power to effect the oxidation of about three 
ounces of absolute alcohol in about twenty-four hours, and the oxidation 
of this amount of alcohol must evolve much force, which is utilized as 
muscular, glandular and nervous force ; by means, therefore, of a limited 
supply of alcohol not only are the bodily forces upheld, but permanent 
additions are made to the tissues of the body. No fact in practical dietet- 
ics being better established than the power of alcohol in proper quantities 
to promote nutrition in the subjects of wasting diseases, it follows that an 
extract of malt containing two or three per cent, of alcohol is far more 
useful than one which is merely rich in diastase. 

Physicians will find in many cases where cod liver oil and cream are 
inadmissible from lack of digestive power that the most susceptible patient 
can tolerate both when given in conjunction with the Liquid Malt, if 
administered in small doses, gradually increased as the tone of the stomach 
is strengthened. The bitter taste of quinine may be fully disguised if 
the latter is well stirred in a wineglassful of Malt Extract and immediately 
taken by the patient. 

Wyeth's Malt Extract has a peculiar and characteristic liveliness and 
freshness of taste which renders it grateful to the patient, does not pall the 
appetite, and is ever taken with a sense of satisfaction ; and the impor- 
tance of this function cannot be overestimated when it is remembered that 
an agent of this kind must be persistently used to procure the best results 
from its administration. 

As it contains less than three per cent, of alcohol, it may be given to 
invalids and children without danger of the secondary depressant effect 
so often experienced from the administration of spirituous remedies, 
the ordinary dose of a wineglassful representing less than forty grains 
of alcohol and over one hundred and twenty-five grains of nutritious 
extractive matter, rich in diastase, which is preserved by our peculiar 
process of preparation, while in malt liquors it is rendered completely 
inert by the boiling to which they are subjected during manufacture. 

MENTHOL PENCIL AND INHALER. 

AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR LOCAL APPLICATION" AND FOR INHALATION 
IN THE TREATMENT OF HEADACHE, NEURALGIA, FACEACHE, HAY 
FEVER, CATARRH, ETC. 

This Pencil consists of menthol crystals in a form convenient for local 
application, and our method of mounting and finishing renders it espe- 
cially serviceable for the treatment of various affections by inhalation. 

Menthol, as is well known, is the solid constituent or so-called cam- 
phor of oil of peppermint ; and it is to this principle that the pungency 
and fragrance of the oil are due. Chemically speaking, it is an alcohol. 

On rubbing the Pencil over the affected part, a sense of coolness, 



252 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 

followed by a slight smarting, is experienced ; in a few minutes afterwards 
the sensation is dissipated and usually the pain disappears. It is perfectly 
harmless, and can be used with safety on any part of the body. 

Of late years menthol has come into use as an effective remedy in the 
treatment of headache, earache, faceache, neuralgia, etc. Its adaptability 
to the treatment of many other affections of a like nature is manifest, 
and the methods of application are varied. Effectiveness and simplicity in 
the mode of application being the desideratum in a remedy of this char- 
acter, Wyeth's Menthol Pencils may justly claim precedence — due to the 
superior quality and absolute purity of the menthol used by us — over the 
many similar preparations which the success of our Pencils has inspired. 

For local application the cap should be removed and the Pencil rubbed 
briskly over the affected part, repeating as often as may be necessary. 

Insect Bites and Slings. — For immediate relief from the pain and 
swelling caused by the bites of insects, particularly mosquitoes, gnats and 
black flies, also the sting of bees, etc., menthol is admirably adapted. Rub 
thoroughly the spot affected several times with the Menthol Pencil. 

For use as an inhalant the cap should be turned so that the holes in 
the sides of the cap will be directly over the holes in the rim of the holder. 
This will admit, when inhaling through the hole in the top, of a current 
of air passing into and through the holder. As an inhalant it may be 
used either by the mouth or the nose, or both, as the indications may 
suggest. For decided action the holder should be slightly warmed, which 
can be done by holding over a gas flame or near the fire. 

For headache, neuralgia, etc., rub the pencil over the part affected and 
inhale freely through the nose. Persist in this treatment until the pain 
has subsided, and, if strictly followed, it will prevent the development of 
those severe and distressing cases of headache which often continue for 
several days, a cure being thus effected in from fifteen to thirty minutes. 

Earache may be relieved by rubbing the Pencil behind and inside the 
ear, and inhaling by the mouth, forcing the mentholated air into the 
Eustachian tubes. 

For toothache, rub the Pencil over the part, or insert a small portion 
into the cavity. Inhaling and retaining the mentholated air in the mouth 
will often give relief. 

For cold in the head, catarrh, etc., menthol as an inhalafit will be 
found to give most satisfactory results. Its portability renders it espe- 
cially useful, as it can be applied at any time or place, as the indications 
may require. Frequent inhalations through the nostrils should be per- 
sisted in, and the Pencil should also be rubbed over the sides of the nose. 
This method of treatment dispenses with the use of powders and solutions, 
and will be a welcome innovation to all sufferers from catarrh, especially 
travelers and tourists. Hay-fever patients will also be benefited by this 
mode of treatment. 

For croup, sore throat, etc., the Pencil may be rubbed over the throat 
and used as an inhaler (by the mouth), thus reducing the inflammation 
and allaying the pain. This treatment is especially useful in cases of 
croup, sore throat, etc. , in children. 

For bronchitis, lung troubles, etc., inhale through the mouth. A 
persistent course of treatment in these affections will give relief and often 
effect a cure. 

Insomnia and nervousness will readily yield to the treatment pre- 
viously given for headache, etc. 

For asthma, inhale freely through the nose and mouth during the 
attack, and, if subject to night attacks, use before retiring. 

When the Pencil is not in use, keep the holder tightly closed and turn 
the cap in such a position as to close the holes in the rim ; otherwise the 
volatile nature of the menthol will cause it to evaporate quickly.

NORMAL SALT TABLETS. 

A CONVENIENT AND SAFE METHOD FOR PREPARING NORMAL SALT SOLU- 
TION FOR SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INFUSION, TRANSFUSION, ETC. 

The growing use of saline solutions for infusion or transfusion has 
created a demand for a tablet as a convenient method for making such 
solutions and obviating the difficulties of their preservation. To meet 
this demand we have prepared the salts in tablet form over the following 
formulae, exercising the greatest care that the chemical purity of the salts 
shall be preserved from contamination through contact with any extra- 
neous matter, thus eliminating all danger from the otherwise possible 
formation of the nucleus of a thrombus. 

For some time past the demand for these tablets has materially in- 
creased, and we have ascertained that their use has been much more 
varied than would be supposed. Not only has the surgeon used them for 
intravenous injection in cases of surgical shock, flushing of the abdomen 
after laparotomies, irrigation and cleansing of wounds, etc., but they have 
as well been extensively employed in washing out the bladder and rec- 
tum, for vaginal injection, lavage, eye and ear work, etc., and, in view 
of possible post-partum hemorrhage, have become almost a necessary 
adjunct to the obstetric bag. 

The specific gravity of the solution made according to directions given 
below renders it applicable in all cases above referred to and also explains 
its extensive and satisfactory use in cases of naso-pharyngeal catarrhs. 

We offer the tablets in three forms : 

Normal Salt Tablet, No. 1. (For making Normal Salt Solution.) Three 
tablets to 1000 c.c. (one quart) of boiling water make a .6 per cent. 
(6-10 per cent.) solution. 
J* Sod. Chloride, C. P., 2.0 gms. (30 9-10 grs.) to each tablet.

( Sod. Chloride, C. P. . . 2.250 gms. (34^ grs.) "| 

J* -I Calc. Chloride, C. P. . . 0.075 gm. ( iy& grs.) | each tablet. 
(.Potass. Chloride, C. P. . 0.025 gm. ( % gr. ) J 

Four tablets to 1000 c.c. (one quart) of boiling water.

_ j Sod. Chloride, C. P. . .20 gms. (30 9-10 grs.) ~t , .... 
** \ Sod. Carbonate, dried . 0.3 gm. ( 5 grs.) [ eacn taDlet * 

Four tablets to 1000 c.c. (one quart) of boiling water. 



254 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

The tablets are free from all deleterious admixture and enable the sur- 
geon to prepare extemporaneously a solution absolutely exact as to the 
amount of the salts and of the proper specific gravity. 

It is essential in making solutions from these tablets that boiling water 
be used, or, where preferred, the solution may be boiled or sterilized just 
before using. 

OX-GALL AND ITS PREPARATIONS. 

The purified Ox-gall , of which we offer the profession several conve- 
nient preparations, is a remedy of considerable antiquity ; yet it is only 
of late years that anything better than an empirical notion of its value 
and uses has been in vogue. 

Physico-Chemical Properties. — Ox-gall is one of the amara or 
bitters, and contains the nutritive properties of bile. It is this fact that 
renders Ox-gall, in some conditions of disease, a remedy of almost specific 
value ; for bile, in fact, is essential to the well-being of the economy. It 
is, in a strict sense, a restorative or constructive agent, being indispensable 
to the processes of digestion, assimilation and repair. Animals from whom 
the bile is withdrawn through a fistula grow rapidly thin and assume a 
cachectic appearance. The same thing is true of man, in whom, indeed, 
the bile is even more necessary to health. Dujardin-BeaumeTz {Diet, 
de ThSrapeutique, t. ii, p. 669), Bidder and Schmidt ( Verdauungssaefte 
und der istoffwechsel, Leipzig, 1852), and VoiT {Zeitschrift fur Biol., 1893- 
94, xii) have shown that a well -nourished animal secretes bile in direct 
proportion to the amount and kind of nourishment taken ; that the quan- 
tity of bile diminishes with the quantity of food, and that the most 
generous diet does not preserve the animal whose bile is artificially with- 
drawn from inanition. 

According to these experiments, Ox-gall — the official preparation of 
bile — does not differ from bile in its effects, though it varies slightly in 
composition. A good specimen of Ox-gall taken from a. healthy animal, 
according to the best authorities, contains as its two most important con- 
stituents acid taurocholic and acid glycocholic combined with sodium, a 
valuable base choline identical with nervine, pigments, cholesterine, fatty 
substances and inorganic salts. The acids taurocholic and glycocholic 
have some powerful and useful properties on which the efficacy of Ox-gall 
seems to depend. It becomes, therefore, a matter of interest to determine 
in what proportion they are to be found in the official preparation. 
Neither LiebiG nor VoiT (loc. cit.) were able to extract acid taurocholic 
from fresh specimens of Ox-gall. Huefner and Bischoff succeeded in 
finding small quantities. The other acid, glycocholic, is easier to extract 
and undoubtedly occurs in Ox-gall in larger proportion than taurocholic. 
Both these acids, as has been mentioned, are found in combination with 
sodium, and neither seems to exist in the free state in Ox-gall. 

The two salts that these acids form, the sodium taurocholate and sodium 
glycocholate, are alike in action, though the taurocholate is the more 
powerful. It was shown, first by Roehrig, that a solution of those salts 
injected into the blood caused an immediate reduction of the pulse, cir- 
culation and temperature. {Archiv der Heilkunde, 1863, p. 400.) He 
showed, further, that the potency of Ox-gall is due to the presence of the 
sodium taurocholate and, to a less extent, to the glycocholate, and not to 
its other constituents. The glycocholate, however, acts efficiently in 
slowing the pulse and reducing the temperature, and has, moreover, the 
merit of leaving the system without disagreeable effects. Tradbe, a year 
later, confirmed tbe result of Roehrig, and added that the salts of Ox-gall 
affect the respiration as well as the heart. The action is on the cardiac 
ganglia, the vagus reacting in a compensatory manner. {Berliner kl. 
Wochenschrift, 1864, p. 14.) 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 255 

Subsequently, a more exhaustive study of the action of Ox gall and its 
salts was undertaken by Fei/tz and Ritter {V Action de la Bile, Nancy, 
1876) . According to their researches, Ox-gall contains in nearly equal 
proportions sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate. They experi- 
enced no difficulty in precipitating the taurocholate with a neutral solu- 
tion of lead acetate. A series of experiments with these salts confirmed 
what had been set forth by Roehrig and Traube and revealed, besides, 
in Ox-gall laxative properties, and, what is of great interest, a marked 
influence in causing secretion. When an injection of a solution of sodium 
taurocholate is given, it produces the effects noted above, e. g., slowing 
of the pulse and respiration, reduction of the temperature. Then "the 
economy reacts vigorously and seeks to disembarrass itself by various 
means ; whence ensues an unusually abundant secretion of / tyalin, saliva, 
urine and intestinal laxative juices." These are results of larger doses. 
The effect of the glycocholate, though similar, is weaker, a conclusion 
which is in complete accord with that of Roehrig. It is important to 
note here that the action of Ox-gall, which may be said to be that of its 
combined elements, is more beneficent and agieeable than that of its two 
most poweiful principles acting alone — a fact which has been observed 
by Prof. NoTHNAGEE, and which is undoubtedly a fortunate attribute ; 
for the sodium taurocholate, when given in laige doses and by injection, 
is not without disagreeable effects, whi h Ox-gall entirely lacks, such as 
vomiting and the disintegration of the red blood globule. 

Among the most valuable properties of Ox-gall are its power to hinder 
the putrefaction of meat aud fibrin and its antiseptic action. (LimbourG, 
Zeitschrift fur physiol. Chemie,s\\\, p. 196; cf. Stolinkoff, ibid., 1878, 
p. 344.) It prevents likewise the so-called alcoholic fermentation — a 
power that seems to reside in acid taurocholic in particular — the fermen- 
tations of milk, of pepsin, of ptyalin, and, above all, it prevents the sugar 
producing pancreatic ferment. (Maly and Emich.) Nor must it be 
omitted that Ox-gall, among other beneficial effects in intestinal functions, 
quickens peristaltic action, the absorption of fats, and hinders rancidity. 
(Brunton.) 

Aside from its bitter and tonic properties, Ox-gall has no especial 
action on gastric digestion. It was supposed that it caused the precipita- 
tion of pepsin, but Oddi, a"s well as Eeeenberger and Hofmeister, 
have satisfactorily disproved, by direct experiments with the bile of 
various animals, the theory of qualitative analysis, on which that state- 
ment was founded. (Virchow and Hirsch, fahresbericht, 1888, i, p. 144 ; 
ibid., 1888, i, p. 145.) 

Therapeutic Uses. — The experimental study of Ox-gall should suf- 
fice to reveal its uses. In cases where illness depends upon malassimila- 
tion, when the restorative and constructive powers of bile are required, 
Ox-gall should be employed. It is, indeed, of the greatest service in 
disorders of nutrition, due to a deficiency of bile ; in ancemia, chlorosis, 
obesity and debility. As a nervine and general tonic and laxative, Prof. 
WoeFF, of Berlin, writes about it as follows, " After many years' experi- 
ence with it (Ox-gall), it recommends itself to me as a remedy in dys- 
pepsia, when that condition is dependent upon atony of the stomach and 
intestinal canal. It is indicated when there is a feeling of praecordial 
oppression, flatulence, weakness and exhaustion, especially if these con- 
ditions occur after meals. Ox-gall is of particular use when these troubles 
are complicated with constipation." {Deutsche Klinik, No. 26, 1864.) 
Not less emphatic is the approval of Dr. Alnate, writing in the Lancet : 
" In all cases of incipient constipation, administered in the form of ene- 
mata or pills, Ox-gall is a remedy of undoubted efficacy ; and even in 
protracted cases, where hope has almost fled but where evidences of 
strangulation are not unequivocally manifested, it should never be omitted. 



256 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. 

In habitual or chronic constipation accompanied by indigestion, clay- 
colored stools, and a feeling of oppression after food has been taken, it 
acts with almost specific certainty." For chlorosis, the same author 
believes it to be the rational cure. Owing to its antiseptic and antiputre- 
factive effects in the intestines, Ox-gall should be used in cases where 
abnormal fermentative processes due to the action of bacteria are sus- 
pected to be taking place ; in a word, in flatulence (foul-smelling) , hepatic 
torpor, pancreatic indigestion, etc. 

To supply the existing demand we offer Purified Ox-gall as well as the 
Desiccated and Inspissated in powdered form and of pilular consistency, 
which, of course, are carried in stock by all leading druggists. 

PANCREATIN, ESSENCE. 

Each jluidrachm represents one grain Pure Powdered Pancreatin in an alkaline base. 

PANCREATIN, PURE. 

An active and permanent preparation of Pancreatic Ferments. 

This article contains the three principal ferments of the pancreas — 
steapsin, trypsin and amylopsin — in the same proportion as they are 
found in fresh pancreatic juice. It digests fibrin in alkaline solution, 
dissolves the casein of milk, emulsifies fat and converts starch into sugar. 

Milk Test. — Five grains of Pancreatin added to four fluidounces of 
tepid water in which twenty grains of sodium bicarbonate have been 
dissolved will completely peptonize one pint of milk in thirty minutes 
when exposed to a temperature of 105 F. 

Starch TEST. — Five grains of Pancreatin added to a starch paste 
(made by boiling one hundred grains of dry starch in four fluidounces 
of water, and subsequently cooling to 105 ° F.) will liquefy the mixture 
almost instantaneously and convert the starch into sugar in from two to 
five minutes. 

Dose. — One to five grains. 

PEPSIN, ESSENCE. 

A concentrated, agreeable, efficient and permanent solution of the active digestive' 
principle extracted directly from the stomach of the pig. 

Pepsin has become of late years the almost universal and popular as 
well as the most effective remedy in the various forms of dyspepsia, indi- 
gestion — indeed, all disorders of the digestive organs superinduced by 
excess, debility and ailments affecting the power of assimilating food. 
It has been presented to the medical profession in such a variety of forms 
and preparations, simple and compound, that we almost hesitate to ask 
preference to a new form of administering this invaluable agent ; and yet 
we are so confident of the merits and value and the therapeutic superiority 
of our Essence of Pepsin we feel assured, if once known and carefully 
tested, it will commend itself even more highly than through any repre- 
sentations we might make. 

Essence of Pepsin is correctly named, as it is truly a concentrated 
solution of the active digestive principle extracted directly from the 
stomach of the pig immediately after being slaughtered, thus avoiding 
any septic or organic change in the condition of the organ in which (the 
peptic glands) this ingredient is found, insuring the remarkable activity 
we claim for it. Long and varied experience in the manufacture of the 
various elements found in the animal secretions, such as pancreatin,

pepsin, amylopsin, trypsin and steapsin, fits us peculiarly for the prep- 
aration of this solution or essence, with every advantage of improved 
appliances and machinery. The menstruum or solvent employed in the 
manufacture of this preparation enhances its activity, preserves it without 
change indefinitely, slightly stimulates, and allays nausea, increases the 
appetite. As an adjunct to the food for infants or young children with 
weak digestive power it is invaluable. Three, five or ten drops in the 
milk or gruel will enhance its assimilation greatly. 

Our Essence of Pepsin will be found invaluable in almost every form 
of dyspepsia, simple and aggravated, incipient and chronic, and in a 
marked degree in the more prominent and persistent derangements of 
the digestive organs connected therewith, such as constipation, diarrhoea, 
colic and flatulency. The remarkable activity of this preparation is due 
to the peculiar method of extracting the essential organic principle of 
the gastric juice. This can be readily demonstrated in its property of pre- 
digesting milk, albumen, as well as starchy foods and fibrin. Extended 
clinical experience with our Essence of Pepsin in the hands of practi- 
tioners has fully demonstrated and confirmed the claims we have made 
for it and the correctness of our theory as to the manner of its preparation, 
proving, as it has, to be of greater benefit and more promptly effective 
than any similar product that has been brought to our attention. 

Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls, either just before or after 
meals, or a teaspoonful as may be required during the day when suffer- 
ing from indigestion, dyspepsia or disagreeable eructations so frequently 
caused by enfeebled powers of assimilation. For infants it is advisable to 
mix three to five drops with their food ; for those a year old or more, from 
ten to fifteen drops with each meal, as the physician may advise. 

PEPSIN, GLYCEROLE. 

A concentrated solution of Pepsin in C. P. Glycerine, slightly acidulated with C. P. 
Acid Hydrochloric. Each fluidraclim contains six grains of pure Pepsii. 

Glycerole of Pepsin is intended for use in the manufacture of all liquid 
preparations of Pepsin, such as Liquid Pepsin, Elixir Pepsin, Bismuth 
and Strychnine, Elixir Calisaya Bark, Pepsin and Strychnine, Wine of 
Pepsin, etc. 

In preparing any of the liquid preparations of Pepsin a requisite 
quantity of the Glycerole of Pepsin should be used, with due regard to 
the strength of the Pure Pepsin of the U. S. P. 1900. 

PEPSIN, LACTATED. 

This is identical with the Compound Pepsin Powder of the National 
Formulary, containing Saccharated Pepsin, Pancreatin, Diastase, Acid 
Lactic, Acid Hydrochloric and Milk Sugar. 

Dose. — From ten to sixty grains. 

PEPSIN POWDER COMPOUND. 

(PURVIS PEPSINI COMPOSITUS, N. F.) 

This preparation combines in scientifically proportioned ratio the 
principal ferments as found in the stomach, and a given dose in milk or 
water immediately after a meal will give marked assistance to the natural 
secretions of the stomach in digesting and assimilating the food.

PEPSIN, POWDERED. 

GRANULAR OR SCALE. 

This represents in the most concentrated form the digestive principle 
contained in the stomach of the pig. For strength and purity, we believe 
it to be unequaled by any pepsin manufactured. 

It has fully fifteen times the strength of saccharated pepsin as ordi- 
narily dispensed. One grain dissolved in sixteen fluidounces of water 
acidulated with seventy minims of acid muriatic will digest three thou- 
sand grains of coagulated albumen at 104 F. in six hours. 

Medical men will at once perceive the advantage of the concentrated 
and tasteless character of this Pepsin — one grain being the full dose for 
an adult — enabling the prescriber to administer it in combination with 
but slight increase of bulk. For children, the dose required is about 
one-tenth to one-half grain, and can easily be disguised. 

The value of Pepsin as an aid to digestion and assimilation can hardly 
be overestimated ; but, as usually prepared, the saccharated article is 
too bulky and contains too much sugar to be well borne by delicate 
stomachs, even in the case of adults. In children this difficulty is much 
greater. 

In compounding our Peptonic Pills (pure pepsin, one grain ; pure 
pancreatin, one grain, with two grains of lime lacto phosphate, and acid 
lactic) , so widely and favorably known to physicians, we have always 
used this Pepsin, to which, we think, the almost immediate relief given 
is mainly due. It has, in combination with bismuth, strychnine, cerium 
oxalate and some of the bitter vegetable tonics, been prescribed with the 
most satisfactory results by many leading practitioners. 

Our Pepsin may be employed with every confidence by manufactu- 
rers of preparations containing this article, as it is free from disagreeable 
taste and of greater strength than Pepsin as generally sold, while its cost 
is less. 

We will give special quotations for large amounts, and will take 
pleasure in sending samples to physicians, should they wish to test its 
comparative strength and therapeutic value. 

Dose. — One-half to one grain. 



PEPSIN, SACCHARATED. 

This preparation of Pepsin is manufactured without heat, in a pure 
and palatable form, from the fresh stomach of the pig. It represents the 
digestive principle of the gastric juice in a very active state and in the 
form most convenient for administration. It is prepared with every 
possible care from the inner coating of the stomach, first removed from 
the other tissues of that organ and then combined with milk-sugar. 

One grain dissolved in two ounces of water acidulated with ten minims 
of acid muriatic will digest from two hundred to two hundred and fifty 
grains of coagulated albumen at 104 F. in six hours. 

The experience of physicians has been so favorable to the use of pepsin 
as an aid to impaired digestion and kindred affections that it is only 
necessary to say the Saccharated Pepsin we manufacture exhibits the 
principle most fully and will give therapeutic results to the entire satis- 
faction of physicians wishing to prescribe this remedy. 

Dose. — From two to five grains before meals.

PEPTONIC PILLS. 

Pepsin, Pancreatin , with Lime Lactophosphate and Acid Lactic. 

These pills will give immediate relief in many forms of dyspepsia and 
indigestion, and will prove of permanent benefit in all cases of enfeebled 
digestion produced from want of proper secretion of the gastric juice. 
By supplementing the action of the stomach, and rendering the food 
capable of assimilation, they enable the organ to recover its healthy tone, 
and thus permanent relief is afforded. One great advantage of these pills 
is the absence of sugar, which is present in all the ordinary pepsin and 
pancreatin compounds. In this form the dose is much smaller, more 
pleasant to take, and is less apt to offend the already weak and irritable 
stomach. The results of their use have been so abundantly satisfactory 
that we are confident further trial will secure for them the cordial approval 
of the medical profession and the favor of the general public. 

The advantage of this combination to correct nausea and want of 
appetite in the morning, induced by late suppers and indulgence in stim- 
ulants, can be readily proved by taking two pills one or two hours before 
breakfast. The theory of their good effect is simply that they aid diges- 
tion, and the food as yet unchanged is taken up, resulting in a natural 
desire for a healthful breakfast. 

It is really better to take the pills before retiring, as in that way the 
benefit due to the prolonged action is more decided, with the additional 
advantage of insuring satisfactory rest. 

As an appetizer for dinner they are to be preferred to the bitters and 
stimulants so often resorted to. 

Each pill contains one grain of Pure Pepsin and one of Pure Pancreatin, 
which are equivalent to ten grains each of the ordinary or Saccharated, 
usually prescribed and dispensed. Physicians will appreciate the great 
advantage of this mode of administration, the increased benefit to the 
dyspeptic being due to a full and effective dose of each, freed from the 
unnecessary bulk and really hurtful addition of sugar. A single pill will 
give immediate relief. 

Dose. — One pill immediately after eating, or when suffering from 
indigestion, lump in the throat or flatulence. For children reduce the 
pill to powder, and give one-fourth or one-half, according to age. 



PEPTONIZING POWDER. 

We offer the Peptonizing Powder in tubes (each vial containing suf- 
ficient to peptonize one pint of milk) and in tablets (each tablet contain- 
ing the amount necessary to peptonize one pint of milk) . 

The administration of milk peptonized by means of pancreatin to 
infants suffering from marasmus, cholera infantum and kindred diseases, 
where apparently the stomach has become so enfeebled as to be unable to 
retain or assimilate food of any kind, has uniformly produced such good 
results that we feel certain that our Peptonizing Powder prepared with the 
customary accuracy and precision of our other preparations will be fully 
appreciated. 

It is hardly necessary for us to expatiate upon the merits of peptonized 
milk as an article of diet for infants and invalids suffering from gastric 
debility, as it has been used for several years past with such uniformly 
favorable results as to have led to its adoption as a standard remedy. 
Unfortunately, however, there has been no convenient method of pre- 
paring this valuable article, and as a natural consequence it has only 



260 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribiyig. 

been used as a last resort when all other dietetic preparations had been 
tried and found wanting. 

By the use of our Peptonizing Powder (in vials or tablets) and observ- 
ing the following directions, the difficulty of preparing peptonized milk 
is reduced to a minimum, while the high quality of pancreatin used in its 
manufacture renders the resulting product perfectly uniform. 

Directions. — For infants, dissolve one of the tablets or contents of vial 
in a gill (four ounces) of lukewarm water. The tablet should be crushed 
or broken to insure prompt solution. Heat one-half a pint of fresh cow's 
milk to boiling and add it to one-half pint of cold milk, stir the mixture 
and pour in the dissolved Peptonizing Powder, mix thoroughly and allow 
it to stand in a warm (not hot) place for fifteen minutes. It should then 
be put on ice until desired for use, or if ice is not available it may be boiled 
for one or two minutes and set aside until wanted. It is usually advisable 
to dissolve about a teaspoonful of milk-sugar in each pint of the pepto- 
nized milk before administration ; this may be added to the first portion 
of the milk as it is being boiled, as it will dissolve more readily while the 
milk is warm. The addition of milk-sugar, while not necessary, causes 
the peptonized milk to resemble human milk more closely. 

For adults the milk may be peptonized more thoroughly than for 
infants, and if desired may be kept warm in contact with the dissolved 
Peptonizing Powder for twenty or even thirty minutes before being placed 
on ice or boiled, both of which processes stop the peptonizing action of the 
tablets. 

Milk peptonized for fifteen minutes, as directed above, when curdled 
by the addition of acid nitric, separates in small light flakes, while fresh 
cow's milk, unpeptonized, turns to a hard, solid curd. When subjected 
to the peptonizing action for thirty minutes, the milk will not curdle on 
the addition of acid nitric, thus showing that the casein has been com- 
pletely peptonized. 

For ordinary use, milk that has been peptonized for fifteen minutes 
will answer every purpose, but in case of extreme gastric debility a more 
thorough peptonizing is desirable. It should be remembered, however, 
that a bitter taste is developed by long peptonizing, and consequently the 
resulting product is less palatable. 

Peptonized milk, prepared as directed above, can be kept on ice for 
three or four days, but in warm weather it is preferable to prepare only 
enough for each day's supply. 

Complete formula for the preparation of foods from our Peptonizing Powder as 
suggested by Bessie Hazen, of the McLean Hospital, will be forzcarded upon application. 

PETROGEN. 

A NON-IRRITATING, HIGHLY PENETRATING AND SOI^UBtE MEDIDM. 

We ask the careful consideration by physicians of Petrogen as a 
vehicle for iodine, creosote, methyl-salicylate, menthol, guaiacol, car- 
bolic acid, etc., and feel confident that its usefulness will appeal at once 
to medical men, since it enables the physician to apply externally, with- 
out irritation and with the certainty of immediate absorption, many 
drugs the usefulness of which would otherwise be minimized, the most 
notable being iodine, which, combined with Petrogen, may be applied 
repeatedly, in fact, two or three times per day, for months if desirable, 
without fear of producing any irritation ; nor will iodine, applied by this 
means, cause any staining of the skin or linen beyond that which may 
readily be removed with soap and water. 

The application of iodine in this medium for local inflammatory con- 



Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 261 

ditions is mucn more efficacious than when the iodine is applied in the 
form of tincture, and obviates, at the same time, in the majority of cases, 
any liability of irritation of the skin or mucous membranes. Experience 
has fully demonstrated that the systemic effect resulting from the local 
application of the Petrogen combinations is identical with that following 
the internal administration of the drugs, at the same time avoiding the 
great disadvantage in the way of gastro-intestinal irritation, so frequently 
encountered where such drugs as creosote, iodine, etc., are administered 
internally. 

This vehicle — probably the most penetrating of all topical applications, 
which we have designated as Petrogen — is a modified mineral oil, per- 
fectly bland and non-irritating to inflamed surfaces, possessing that 
peculiar quality of readily emulsifying with water, and, when brought in 
contact with the skin or mucous surface, forms an emulsion with the 
water and secretions, thus insuring an immediate absorption of the medi- 
cament into the general economy, and as well deprives such drugs as 
iodine, creosote, etc., of their irritating properties, rendering it possible 
to apply these remedies directly to inflamed surfaces without causing any 
irritation, but, instead, depleting the surcharged capillaries of the inflamed 
membrane, resulting in a rapid resolution to its former healthy condition. 
The solution of these various drugs in Petrogen is effected during the 
process of manufacture, as our experience and experiments have demon- 
strated that in this manner we secure not only a permanent solution, but 
one carrying a considerably greater percentage of" the remedy than would 
be possible were it added subsequently. 

The signal benefit and advantage afforded by this preparation cannot, 
we feel, be exaggerated, supplying as it does for the physician a means 
by which he may in many cases avail himself of remedial agents which 
heretofore might not be applied externally with satisfaction. We feel 
confident that, when fully tested, its usefulness will be found to have 
scarcely any limitations, when administered with that intelligence and 
judgment exercised by the careful physician. 

The absorption of the remedy in this vehicle is very rapid. The 
integument and mucous surfaces are protected from any irritation, though 
the application be frequently repeated. The fact of immediate absorption 
and distribution throughout the economy may be demonstrated by the 
urine test for iodine, which we have selected as the type to explain the 
claims we so confidently urge upon physicians. A demonstration with 
creosote, guaiacol and other drugs will prove just as strongly the great 
advantages afforded by this vehicle. 

We are prepared to supply Petrogen in the following combinations :

SOLUBLE GLOBULES OF PETROGEN. 

As Petrogen is absolutely devoid of irritating properties, it is as well 
adapted for internal administration as external application. The various 
formulae of medicated Petrogen are indicated in a large field of pathologic 
systemic conditions, and for the purpose of internal administration we 
offer the more important combinations in the form of Soluble Globules. 
When employed internally, the perfect solubility and decided absorba- 
bility of the Petrogen combinations aid in their immediate entrance 
through the gastro-intestinal membrane into the general circulation, 
where they are at once conveyed by the circulating medium of the blood 
to every tissue of the body, thus aiding materially their therapeutic 
efficiency.

IODINE-PETROGEN (5 and 10 per cent.)— "While iodine is a most valu- 
able medicament for external use, its staining of the skin and lack of 
absorption through the integument have greatly restricted its field of ther- 
apeutic usefulness. These objections, however, are overcome by Iodine- 
Petrogen, as it is not only immediately absorbed into the pathologic 
tissues, thus exerting its beneficial, alterative and absorbent properties, 
but causes no permanent stain upon the surface, and any of the basic 
material of the Petrogen not abso.bed may be easily removed with soap 
and water. As Iodine-Petrogen is non-irritating, it is as well adapted for 
internal administration as external application, and may be employed in 
many forms of systemic disease in which the general effect of the iodine 
is desired. Applied locally, it has been found useful in the treatment of 
muscular rheumatism, glandular swelling, old syphilitic nodules, rheu- 
matic swelling, stiff joints, bruises, and is indicated iu the treatment of 
diseases of the respiratory tract and auditory canal, such as atrophic acd 
hypertrophic rhinitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, otitis and otalgia. Iodine- 
Petrogen has been employed with most gratifying results in the treatment 
of pleurisy and pneumonia, and, if applied promptly upon the first indica- 
tion of pleuritic pains, the threatened attack will in most cases be aborted. 
To prove most effective, it should always be applied by the hand, being 
rubbed in thoroughly and until entirely absorbed, two or three times each 
day. The frequency of its application can be determined intelligently 
only after a careful consideration of the conditions by the attending 
physician. 

IODINE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 2 1-2 minims (Iodine, 1-20 grain), 
5 minims 1 Iodine, 1-10 grain). — Iodine-Petrogen Globules offer a ready 
means of obtaining the systemic effect of iodine without irritating the 
stomach. The readily soluble form in which the iodine is heie presented 
insures the prompt exhibition of free iodine in the circulation, whereas 
when the iodides are administered they must first undergo a chemical

change. Iodine-Petrogen, thus administered, affords to the human econ- 
omy iodine in its elementary form, which, in turn, is conveyed in a 
soluble state to the tissues, there to exert its alterative, stimulating and 
absorbent properties. 

METHYL-SALICYLATE-PETROGEN (20 per cent.)— Oil of winter- 
green has long been employed, both internally and externally, in the 
treatment of acute articular rheumatism ; but the objection to the use 
of this medicament in topical appl ications has been that it is only absorbed 
to a slight degree, while with Methyl-Salicylate-Petrogen the absorption 
is very rapid and it is thus brought in contact with the diseased synovial 
membrane, where it exerts its specific action and hastens recovery. It is 
strongly indicated in rheumatic affections of the joints and muscles, as 
also in gonorrhceal affections of the joints. It should be applied freely 
to the affected part, accompanied with decided massage, after which the 
joints should be wrapped in cotton and covered with oiled silk, so as to 
maintain an even temperature. This treatment may be supplemented by 
the administration, internally, of from one to two globules of Methyl- 
Salicylate-Petrogen, each containing five minims, three or four times a 
day. 

METHYL-SALICYLATE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 5 minims (Methyl- 
Salicylate, 1 minim).— These globules are of particular value in the treat- 
ment of acute articular rheumatism and rheumatic fever, are non irritating 
to the gastro-intestinal tract, and the medicament is at once absorbed and 
conveyed to the part affected. One or two of the globules should be given 
frequently, according to the requirements of the individual case in the 
judgment of attending physician. 

ICHTHYOL-PETROGEN (10 per cent.)— The well-known antiphlogis- 
tic, anodyne, alterative, antiseptic and astringent properties of ichthyol 
are appreciably enhanced in value and activity by combination with this 
rapidly penetrating, quickly absorbable and non-irritating vehicle — Petro- 
geu. Local applications, in order to fulfill all requirements, must neces- 
sarily penetrate the surface and exert a beneficial influence on the under- 
lying lymphatics, capillaries and tissues, and also aid nature in removing 
inflammatory exudate and broken-down cell material through the natural 
channels of absorption . In addition, they must exert a bactericidal action 
on the disease germs, which are usually the causative factor of the pri- 
mary lesion. That Ichthyol-Petrogen possesses the above attributes may 
be fully demonstrated by the careful physician, whose experience will sub- 
stantiate our claims with reference to the very rapid absorption of this new 
vehicle. This places in the hands of physicians a product with which it 
is possible to beneficially treat not only diseases of the integument and 
mucous membrane but deep-seated inflammation. 

Ichthyol-Petrogen acts as a reducing agent and exerts a decided con- 
tractile effect on the vascular supply, inducing a diminution of tempera- 
ture, a reduction of swelling and relief from pain ; it is therefore indicated 
as a valuable agent in the treatment of local inflammation. In articular 
and muscular rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica and gout, owing to the rapid 
penetration and inherent therapeutic action of Ichthyol-Petrogen, its use 
will be followed by prompt relief from pain and a reduction of the swell- 
ing, redness and febrile symptoms. It is also of value in the treatment of 
influenza, pleurisy, lymphatic enlargements, tuberculosis, in all of which 
applications accompanied by gentle massage will prove more beneficial 
than other forms of ichthyol application. 

The use of ichthyol in the treatment of frost-bite and acne rosacea is 
highly recommended by Lange and Unna. Ichthyol-Petrogen is like- 
wise indicated in erysipelas, and the physician will doubtless find that its 
use in this disease will cause a reduction of the congestion, pain and ten- 



264 Kindly specify " WyeTh'S " whe?i prescribing. 

sion and will exhibit a tendency to limit its progression. In fact, Victor 
Cebrian states that in this pathologic condition the use of ichthyol 
locally has proven uniformly satisfactory in the treatment of eighty cases. 
In furunculosis it is equally efficient ; the inflammatory conditions will 
quickly subside, and, if applied sufficiently early, it will abort the boils. 
In prurigo and pruritus, Lange reports excellent results from applications 
or inunctions with this agent, after carefully washing the parts with warm 
water and soap. 

The annoying itching which is so often found in connection with 
eczematous conditions may be greatly relieved by frequent applications. 
In sprains and painful injuries about the joints, Ichthyol-Petrogen should 
be thoroughly rubbed on the injured parts, after which the whole should 
be covered with cotton and firmly bandaged. Its use is further indicated 
in the treatment of the stings of venomous insects whit h are followed by 
itching and swelling. The physician will doubtless find that the use of 
Ichthyol-Petrogen, in the treatment of burns of the first and second 
degree, will be followed by a marked subsidence of pain and congestion. 
This view is supported by LEistikow, who heartily recommends the use 
of ichthyol in the treatment of such cases, especially when associated with 
a marked degree of inflammation. 

Ichthyol-Petrogen, by virtue of its anodyne, resolvent and absorbent 
properties, is of great value in the treatment of gynsecologic diseases. It 
is useful in removing periuterine and pelvic exudates in the treatment 
of chronic metritis, inflammatory conditions of the tubes and ovaries, 
erosion of the cervix uteri and drying up leucorrhoeal discharge, and 
affording relief from pruritus. Douches of hot water should be followed 
by the introduction of Ichthyol-Petrogen tampons once daily. This treat- 
ment may be supplemented, in pelvic inflammatory cases, by massaging 
the abdomen with Ichthyol-Petrogen once or twice daily. The efficiency 
of this method of treatment is due to the rapidity with which the Petrogen 
conveys the ichthyol to every portion of the underlying tissue, thereby 
producing results not obtainable by the use of ichthyol-glycerine tampons. 
In the latter instance the glycerine, through its strongly hygroscopic 
action, often causes a dryness of the mucous surface with a concomitant 
burning and itching of the vagina, which not infrequently extends to the 
external genitalia, and even to the surrounding integument, while, on the 
other hand, Ichthyol-Petrogen has a soothing, healing and pain-relieving 
influence which is very grateful in its effects. Such authorities as 
Freund, Bloch, Hermann, Sinclair and others recommend the use 
of ichthyol in the treatment of diseases of the female genital tract. 
Ichthyol-Petrogen tampons will quickly check hemorrhages, as the rather 
energetic vaso-constrictor action of the ichthyol, which is made possible 
by the marked absorptive power of the vehicle with which it is combined, 
will produce a decided haemostatic influence upon the vascular supply 
involved in the hemorrhage. 

There are other conditions in which the physician will doubtless find 
that Ichthyol-Petrogen is indicated. However, we feel sure that clin- 
ical experience will fully demonstate the many superior advantages of 
Ichthyol-Petrogen in the treatment of any pathological condition in which 
it is desirable to obtain the peculiar therapeutic activity of ichthyol com- 
bined with a bland, rapidly absorbent and non-irritating vehicle not only 
upon the tissues locally but also on the underlying structures. 

CAMPHOR-PETROGEN (20 per cent.) — Physicians will doubtless find 
that the stimulating and soothing properties of camphor are greatly 
increased in therapeutic value by its combination with Petrogen. While 
applications of camphorated oil are usually restricted to surface ailments, 
Camphor-Petrogen may be employed to advantage in the treatment of 
deep-seated pain and inflammation, as it at once penetrates the skin and 



Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. 265 

mucous membrane to the underlying tissue, where, by virtue of the stimu- 
lating action of the camphor, it constitutes a powerful factor in affording 
relief from pain and reducing inflammation. 

In the treatment of otalgia, with or without otorrhcea, syringing the 
external meatus with warm water, followed by injecting five or ten drops 
of the Camphor-Petrogen every two or three hours, will reduce the dis- 
charge, when present, and afford quick relief from pain. In cases of acute 
coryza, chronic rhinitis, hay fever or other similar diseases, pledgets of 
cotton saturated with Camphor-Petrogen and inserted in the nares will 
cause an enlargement in the lumen of the cavity, allay the sensitiveness 
of the membrane and reduce the inflammatory symptoms. In addition to 
this treatment the Camphor-Petrogen should be rubbed very thoroughly 
over the external parts. 

This vehicle will also enable physicians to avail themselves of the 
valuable properties of camphor in the treatment of the various diseases of 
the respiratory tract occurring in infants and children, as in such cases it 
is often difficult and undesirable to administer drugs by the mouth. 
Frequent rubbing with the preparation on the neck and throat will soothe 
the irritation, check excessive secretions and cause a subsidence of the 
inflammation incident to pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, asthma, 
croup, whooping-cough, pneumonia, etc. In these cases a teaspoonful 
should be rubbed in briskly with the hand, and continued until absorbed, 
repeating the treatment every two or three hours, or as often as the phy- 
sician may deem advisable. In the numerous disturbances of the gastro- 
intestinal tract prevalent in children, frequent application over the abdo- 
men will check vomiting and diarrhoea almost immediately and will termi- 
nate the colic and induce a comfortable feeling of warmth. 

Camphor-Petrogen is most useful as an application for boils and car- 
buncles, which may often be aborted by frequent rubbing with this prep- 
aration, while swellings, painful joints and rheumatism are greatly relieved 
by its application, and it is also said to have proven useful in cases of 
eczema and urticaria. 

The signal benefit and advantage of this preparation as an efficient 
anti-galactagogue will be appreciated by physicians. To obtain the most 
satisfactory results in these cases, the breasts should be rubbed briskly 
three or four times a day with the Camphor-Petrogen, as this will quickly 
Stop the secretion of milk, prevent swelling of the glands and afford relief 
from the pain usually present. 

From half a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, necessarily depending upon 
the area affected, should be directed to be applied to the skin, rubbing 
briskly with the hand until entirely absorbed, repeating every two or 
three hours, or as often as the severity of the case, in the judgment of the 
attending physician, may demand. Covering the parts with cotton, 
especially in cases of pain and deep-seated inflammation, will often hasten 
the beneficial action of the remedy. 

IODOFORM-PETROGEN (3 per cent.)— The employment of iodoform 
in the treatment of wounds and ulcerative processes has become so gen- 
eral that a list of its indications would serve no useful purpose. However, 
we would call attention in particular to the superiority of this preparation, 
as it presents iodoform in a perfectly soluble and quickly absorbable form. 
Another feature that is worthy of special notice is the fact that Iodoform- 
Petrogen may be mixed with water to form an emulsion, thereby render- 
ing it possible to make applications of iodoform in a nearly absolute aque- 
ous menstruum, a method which physicians have so long desired in the 
treatment of a considerable class of pathologic conditions. 

CREOSOTE-PETROGEN (20 per cent.) —Physicians will find this prep- 
aration especially valuable in the treatment of phlegmonous erysipelas, 



266 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 

phlegmasia dolens, psoriasis, impetigo, acne, tinea in all its forms, sycosis 
and scabies. Non-specific sloughing and phagedenic ulcerations are often 
benefited by applications with this preparation, assisting, in the case of 
long-standing ulcers, in a speedy and rapid recovery. 

Creosote-Petrogen is also indicated in the treatment of fistulse, gan- 
grenous surfaces, foetid otorrhcea, diphtheria and burns with excessive 
suppuration and granulation. Many other pathologic conditions will 
become apparent to the physician as amenable to this form of treatment. 

CREOSOTE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 5 minims (Beech wood Creosote, 
x minim). — These gloubles may be employed to advantage in bronchitis 
and tuberculosis, as also in the treatment of gastralgia and other forms of 
gastro-intestinal disturbance, and, in fact, in any diseased condition in 
whirh the physician may consider the internal administration of creosote 
desirable. 

GUAIACOL-PETROGEN (20 per cent.)— The well-known analgesic effect 
of guaiacol may be used to advantage by utilizing this preparation in the 
treatment of arthritis deformans, acute articular and muscular rheuma- 
tism, sciatic coxalgia and pains of a superficial and deep-seated nature. 
It will also afford relief from pain in orchitis and epididymitis. 

As an antipyretic in tuberculosis, erysipelas and pneumonia, Guaiacol- 
Petrogen may be applied to any part of the body, accompanied with mas- 
sage and covering the part treated with cotton and oiled silk. After 
applications with this preparation, tracings of phenol may be detected in 
the urine in a short time, demonstrating its peculiarly active quality of 
absorption. Its local application to the abdomen or chest-wall is indicated 
in the treatment of chronic bronchitis and tuberculosis. Satisfactory 
results in these cases are often obtained in a comparatively short period 
of time. 

CAMPHORATED PHENOL-PETROGEN (Carbolic Acid, crystals, .125; 
Camphor, .375 ; Liquid Petrogen, .500). — Physicians will appreciate the 
value of a preparation which combines the soothing, germicidal and anti- 
septic properties of camphor and phenic acid with a bland, non-irritating 
and rapidly penetrating vehicle such as Petrogen, and they may demon- 
strate to their own satisfaction, by personal tests, the advantages of Cam- 
phorated Phenol-Petrogen as a -dressing for lacerated and incised wounds, 
to insure asepsis following surgical operations, and for the antiseptic 
treatment of the various acute and chronic forms of inflammation, 
especially those of suppurative nature. 

In the treatment of hemorrhoids, pruritus of the anus and of the 
scrotum, and all localized itching of the surface, Camphorated Phenol- 
Petrogen should be rubbed on gently with cotton, or applied with the 
forefinger, as often as may be found necessary in the judgment of the 
attending physician. 

Boils may be much alleviated, and often aborted, by placing on them 
a pledget of cotton saturated with the preparation and renewing the 
dressing three or four times a day. For the stings of insects and the bites 
of animals, which are frequently of a septic nature, it should be applied to 
the wound on absorbent cotton and retained with a handkerchief or other 
bandage. 

Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen is a valuable deodorant to correct fetor 
arising from infected sores, syphilitic ulcerations and malignant growths. 
In pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, deep-seated pain and localized areas of 
inflammation, physicians will find that brisk rubbing with this preparation 
over the parts affected will cause a lessening of the inflammation and 
afford relief from pain. 

As a spray, either pure or diluted with a bland oil such as olive oil, it 
will prove useful in preserving cleanliness, in reducing inflammation and 



Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 267 

in allaying irritation in acute and chronic rhinitis, stomatitis, tonsillitis, 
pharyngitis and other affections of the respiratory tract. In atrophic 
rhinitis, pieces of cotton saturated with the preparation and placed for 
several moments over the ulcers will materially lessen the offensive odor 
peculiar to this disease. The attending physician may use it in such 
strength as may be best suited to the individual case. By spraying the 
nostrils with dilute Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen at the very onset of an 
acute cold the disease may often be aborted. 

In chronic local eczema and in other forms of skin disease with itching 
or infection, applications on cotton or gauze should be resorted to at fre- 
quent intervals. In fact, Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen is indicated in 
all forms of abrased integument, infected sores and in any condition in 
which it is desirable to utilize the beneficial, soothing, healing and germi- 
cidal properties of a preparation of this character. 

Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen will immediately relieve the pain and 
inflammation of burns and should be applied with cotton or linen. It 
should not be applied over large areas, on account of the possible absorp- 
tion of carbolic acid in combination. 

General Directions for Use. — Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen may 
be applied with the hand, on cotton or on gauze, as may be preferred. 
The strength of the solution may be reduced to any desired percentage by 
the addition of olive oil or other bland oil. 

GUAIACOL-PETROGEN Globules, 5 minims (Guaiacol, Pure, 1 minim), 
are especially valuable in the treatment of chronic laryngitis and bronchi- 
tis, and may be found particularly useful in the treatment of pulmonary 
tuberculosis. 

CARBOLIC- ACID-PETROGEN (2 and 5 per cent.)— The field of useful- 
ness for this valuable antiseptic has been greatly enlarged by its combi- 
nation with this rapidly-absorbing base, in combination with which it 
penetrates at once throughout the affected tissues and exerts its germi- 
cidal action upon the bacteria present. It is indicated in the treatment 
of all sores, abrasions, ulcerations and, in fact, any condition requiring 
the use of carbolic acid. Applications in pruritus ani will materially 
lessen the itching and allay the irritation. 

MENTHOL-PETROGEN (5 per cent. )— The desirable therapeutic prop- 
erties of menthol are greatly enhanced in value by the combination with a 
Petrogen vehicle, as it favors the rapid absorption of the menthol through 
an inflamed mucous membrane, and is not washed away with the serous 
discharge, which often occurs when menthol applications are made to the 
respiratory tract. This preparation retains and manifests to a marked 
degree the beneficial, stimulating action of the medicament. 

We will be very glad to send clinical excerpts on Petrogen combinations on applica- 
tion. 

PHOSPHATED KOLA COMP. 

(KOLA-PHOS.) 

A highly concentrated combination of Kola, Celery, Guarana and Coca, with 
Acid Phosphoric, deliriously aromatized. 

Relieves headache, nausea, nervous debility, fatigue of mind and body ; 
is particularly indicated in cases of exhaustion due to over-excitement or 
mental strain, insomnia, loss of appetite. 

The vitalizing properties of the acid phosphates are recognized by all 
medical men, which, in conjunction with the tonic, sedative, stomachic 
and strengthening specific properties of the above adjuncts, render this

preparation one of great merit, particularly during the debilitating influ- 
ences of our protracted hot summer months. 

One or two teaspoonfuls of Phosphated Kola Comp. in a tumbler of 
carbonated or iced water, sweetened, makes a delightful, refreshing and 
invigorating beverage. May be taken two or three times a day. 

PICRATED GLYKAOLIN. 

(SEE GI,YKAOI,IN, PICRATED.) 

PICRATOL. 

One remedy after another for the treatment of urethritis has been 
exploited among the medical profession, only to be discarded after a few 
years of popularity. Of these silver nitrate alone has survived by reason 
of its marked action upon the gonococci ; but this, because of its excori- 
ating and destructive character, has now fallen into disuse, excepting as 
generally applied to specific ulcers by means of the endoscope. Of late 
numerous albuminates of silver, under as many different names, have 
been placed upon the market, claiming to be true organic salts of silver. 
But the difference between a salt and an albuminate should be borne in 
mind — the former being a definite combination of silver with an acid, 
forming a new compound, the medical properties of which are usually a 
combination of the physiological action of the acid and base employed, 
while an albuminate of silver may contain any proportion of the metal 
(one, two, three, five, ten and even thirty per cent. ) , the proportion 
varying according to the manipulation of the process employed. 

It is a recognized fact that the treatment of urethritis demands a germi- 
cide which will not injure the healthy mucous membrane with which it 
must of necessity come in contact, a drug which has a marked analgesic 
action, a chemical possessing great healing powers, allaying the inflam- 
mation of mucous surfaces and preventing the pathological secretion of 
mucus. We have recently succeeded in producing a chemical fulfilling 
all these requirements, which has been employed in the treatment of cer- 
vicitis and vaginitis, and is rapidly coming into general use. This product, 
Picratol, is the result of a complicated process, a combination of silver 
with acid carbazotic (C 6 H2(N02) 3OH) , commonly known as acid picric. 

Picratol contains thirty percent, silver, a far greater proportion than 
most of the albuminates above referred to, and retains not merely the 
medical properties of the silver, but possesses in addition the antiseptic, 
analgesic and healing properties of the picric acid. 

As a prophylactic, Picratol suppositories will be found efficient if intro- 
duced into the urethra within a few hours after coitus. Picratol will 
entirely destroy all gonococci contained in the urethra. During the first 
stage of the disease, douching with an aqueous solution of Picratol by 
means of a Valentine irrigator or hand syringe, in as strong a solution as 
the patient can endure, will usually check the diseased process. If, how- 
ever, the glands have become deeply invaded, the use of Picratol supposi- 
tories or bougies is suggested ; and if the disease has progressed until the 
infected glands have become localized ulcerated surfaces, the introduction 
of a Picratol suppository after urinating will be followed by slight burning 
succeeded by a soothing, benumbing sensation, due to the analgesic action 
of the acid picric. The glycerin in the suppository will cause an exuda- 
tion of the purulent mucus contained in the glands, by virtue of its 
hygroscopic action ; and as the gonococci-laden material reaches the 
urethra, the Picratol will destroy the bacteria. 

But the action of Picratol is not merely that of a germicide, since it is 
at this point that the picric acid in the combination diminishes the action 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's ' when prescribing. 269 

of the mucous cells, and so checks the secretion of mucus. The work of 
healing apparently commences shortly after the introduction of the sup- 
pository ; and if the treatment is continued night and morning for a few 
days the discharge will entirely cease, leaving the urethra in a fair way to 
regain its healthy condition. Picratol not only checks the purulent pro- 
cess but stimulates the epithelial cells to rapid proliferation, and the 
denuded surface is speedily healed. 

The great advantage of Picratol over all other gonorrhoeal remedies lies 
in the fact that it effectually prevents the formation of scar-tissue, and 
thus the danger of resultant strictures is reduced to a minimum. It is 
believed that Picratol is the only drug possessing this advantage, and too 
much stress cannot be laid upon this important fact. This is due to the 
acid picric in the combination, since it is well established that the cicatrices 
of burns treated with acid picric contract but very little, far less than those 
of similar burns treated with any other local application. 

The marked action of Picratol is not confined to mucous membranes, 
but it produces excellent results upon epithelial surfaces as well. Here it 
may be employed in aqueous or alcoholic solution, or, preferably, as 
Picratol Paste. Ulcers heal rapidly, parasitic lesions and subdermal 
inflammations disappear under its use, while verruca, painted with alco- 
holic solution of Picratol or Picratol Collodion , shrink and disappear. In 
mastitis the swelling subsides under the use of a paste prepared with Pic- 
ratol and Glykaolin (Pasta Alumini Silicatis Comp.) as a base, unless the 
case has already reached the suppurative stage, when it will be necessary 
to open the abscess and cleanse the parts with an aqueous solution. 

As a one-twentieth of one per cent, aqueous solution (7.7 grains in 1 
quart of water making a 1 : 2000 solution) it may be used in irrigation or 
douching with exceptionally good results. Very favorable reports have 
also been received where it has been employed as a saturated alcoholic 
solution (one and three-quarters per cent.) in catarrhal affections of the 
nose and throat.

QUINQUINIA. 

THE ALKALOIDS OE CINCHONA BARK BEFORE ISOLATION. 

Quinine 15 per cent. 

Quinidine 15 per cent. 

Cinchonidine 15 per cent. 

Cinchonine 25 per cent. 

Chinoidine (purified Alkaloid) 30 per cent. 

It has long been used in hospital, dispensary and private practice, 
with uniformly good results. We have received from our representatives, 
who come into personal contact with so many doctors all over the United 
States, most convincing proofs of the admirable therapeutic results arising 
from its administration, the claim being urged positively that, grain for 
grain, it is as efficient as quinine sulphate, with the advantage of not 
being nearly so apt to induce cerebral excitement, and of proving more 
lasting in its antiperiodic influence, a superiority always claimed for the 
mixed alkaloids and the bark over the single salt, and, we believe, 
deservedly. It is generally preferred in a large majority of cases to qui- 
nine sulphate or cinchonidine, being their equal, if not their superior, in 
therapeutic value. Implicit reliance can be placed on its always being 
furnished of exact strength and uniform quality. 

Dose. — Two to five grains.

RED GUM LOZENGES. 

ASTRINGENT, STYPTIC, ANTISEPTIC. 

It has been a matter of surprise to us that the use of Red Gum has 
been so limited among physicians of the United States ; in Great Britain 
and on the Continent it is largely prescribed with most flattering results, 
while in Australia it is used to the exclusion of almost every other 
vegetable astringent. 

Red Gum is the resinous exudation from the bark of the Eucalyptus 
Rostrata found in western Australia. In the form of a lozenge it is 
admirably adapted and effective as a remedy in all cases of relaxed uvula, 
inflamed mucous membranes and bronchial tubes, ulcerated sore mouth 
and gums, and its local action as an astringent, styptic and antiseptic is 
most marked ; its peculiar styptic effect upon all mucous surfaces, partic- 
ularly the fauces, deadens the sensibilities, thus sheathing and producing 
a soothing, calmative effect, lessening the tendency to cough and relieving 
the soreness. We know of no lozenge or combination that we have here- 
tofore placed before the profession that has so many elements of merit, or 
is so effective in its action. 

Dose. — A lozenge to be allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth every 
two or three hours, or two or three may be taken in succession if the cough 
is severe and irritating. 



RENNET GLYCEROLE. 

A concentrated solution of Rennet in C. P. Glycerine. 

This Glycerole of Rennet will be found both economical, convenient 
and reliable in the manufacture of all liquid preparations of Rennet, such 
as L,iquid Rennet, Digestive Essence, Wine of Rennet, or in the prepara- 
tion of the desserts — slip, junket, frugolac, etc. 

Each nuidrachm contains six grains pure Rennet and will make a firm 
curd with ten to twelve pints of lukewarm milk in a few minutes. 

In preparing any of the liquid preparations of Rennet a requisite quan- 
tity of the Glycerole of Rennet should be used with due regard to its high 
strength. 

RENNET, GRANULAR (1 : 15,000). 

One grain of this Rennet is more than sufficient to firmly curd one 
quart of milk in a few minutes.

SANGUIFORM. 

IRON IN TRUE ORGANIC COMBINATION. 

Each ounce of Sanguiform contains 2. 5 grains of Natural Organic Iron 
together with all the albuminoids and saline constituents of one and 
one-quarter ounces of normal healthy blood, rendered palatable by the 
addition of aromatics. 

Sanguiform is a preparation of the blood of healthy warm-blooded 
animals, containing all of its normal constituents, ascertained by careful 
examination, and so preserved as to remain unchanged in any climate, at 
the same time rendered agreeable to the taste of both young and old, 
while it may be taken freely without ulterior ill effects. 

The constitution of Sanguiform furnishes the measure of its real 
utility as a remedy. Containing the materials of which the blood is com- 
posed, it is a valuable reconstituent in those maladies characterized by 
deficiency in the number and quality of the red-blood globules. In the 
debility succeeding acute diseases, as a restorative in chronic wasting dis- 
eases and in depressed states of the organic functions it is an effective and 
readily applied remedy. Partly owing to facility of administration, it is 
particularly useful in these conditions occuring in children. In chronic 
malarial diseases and in splenic affections, with impoverished blood, and 
the haemoglobin and corpuscular elements below normal, Sanguiform 
furnishes the materials for ready restoration. This is also true of stru- 
mous affections, enlarged glands, suppurative processes of neck and ears, 
and the debility and anaemia which accompany these states, especially in 
early life. 

It is more particularly in anaemia, and in that variety known as per- 
nicious anaemia, that Sanguiform is indicated. Here it furnishes the 
materials from which the blood globules may be easily elaborated. 
When, however, the destruction of the red-blood globules and the increase 
in the white are due to malignant diseases of the blood-forming organs, 
no remedy can be permanently effective. Sanguiform also promises to be 



272 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

a most useful expedient in that malady cognate to anaemia— chlorosis — in 
which anaemia or a low amount of the corpuscular elements is associated 
with amenorrhoea. In the state of the system succeeding hemorrhage, 
whether pulmonary or of any other form, it may be administered freely, 
and thus cause early restoration of the blood. It also has important uses 
as a means of general support to the organism. In addition to the com- 
bined organic iron, Sanguiform contains as well the albuminous constitu- 
ents of the serum of the blood and all those sanguineous salts, including 
the phosphates and other salines, present in normal healthy blood, and 
which have been found of special utility in certain disorders of the ner- 
vous system — viz., in scleroses of the cord, in exophthalmic goitre and 
in sexual debility. In respect to the last named, Sanguiform is appli- 
cable in a special degree, as it furnishes to the generative apparatus the 
material for the ready restoration of function. 

Besides its direct application to the morbid states mentioned, it may 
be successfully used as a substitute or vehicle for the administration of 
cod-liver oil. The special place of the oil as a remedy is due to its adapt- 
ability to the formation of the molecular basis of chyle, the first stage in 
the process by which the red-blood corpuscles are elaborated Sanguiform, 
being composed of the material forming blood, may properly take the 
place of such agents as the oils and other materials for the constructive 
metamorphosis of the body. 

As a tonic and reconstituent, Sanguiform has the advantage of being 
free from any irritant action, and it may be administered freely and con- 
tinuously without causing any disturbance of the stomach or digestion. 

Sanguiform will be found equally available for the physician in the 
treatment of all cases of anaemia, chlorosis, neurasthenia, diseases of the 
lungs and chest, scrofula, rickets, general debility, marasmus, and as a 
nutrient tonic in the convalescence of all wasting diseases involving in 
any way an impoverishment of the blood. 

Dose. — For infants, ten drops to one-half teaspoonful, twice daily, in 
milk or water ; for children, from one-half to one teaspoonful, according 
to age, twice daily, in milk or water ; for adults, from one teaspoonful to 
one tablespoonful, twice daily, after meals. 

SEVETOL. 

(SMDI,. SEVI COMP. — WYETH.) 

Sevetol is a natural emulsion of mixed fats with proteids and carbo- 
hydrates. The combined fats, consisting of butter fat, beef fat, olive oil, 
lard and peanut oil, constitute thirty-three per cent, of the whole mixture. 
This preparation presents the most nutritious and vital substances in a 
form requiring the expenditure of very little energy on the part of the 
system to insure rapid absorption and assimilation. It provides the ele- 
ments necessary for the reconstruction of wasted tissues and also supplies 
an available source of heat and energy. 

As a result of exhaustive laboratory experiments, it has been conclu- 
sively proven that different fats have varying degrees of nutritive value, 
and we have selected for this preparation only those fats demonstrated by 
clinical experience to be highest in nutritive content and to possess the 
power of most rapidly and uniformly increasing the body weight. We 
cannot too strongly urge physicians to demonstrate to their own satisfac- 
tion bv clinical test that all we claim concerning the superiority of Seve- 
tol is fully warranted in that it meets the demand for a product that is 
palatable and perfectly acceptable to the most delicate and fastidious 
patients, while, at the same time, it effectually repairs the great tissue 
destruction incident to wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, rickets in 



Kindly specify "WyeTh'S" when prescribing. 273 

children, anaemia and neurasthenia, the various infectious and contagious 
diseases, and, in fact, all pathologic conditions resulting from malnutri- 
tion. 

The normal digestion of fats consists largely of a minute division of the 
oil globules preparatory to their absorption by the intestinal villi, and it 
is this minute division of the oil globules in Sevetol that constitutes a 
most important factor in their complete utilization in supplying body 
nutrition, as every portion of the preparation is readily absorbed through 
the intestinal wall. 

The administration of Sevetol does not tax the digestive power of the 
patient, for it is absorbed with very little effort on the part of the digestive 
apparatus ; and even if the organs of digestion be involved, neither the 
weakness of the patient nor the severity of the symptoms necessarily 
contraindicates its use. The amount ingested is limited only by the 
power of assimilation exhibited in the tissues, and it may be given in 
large doses for a continued period of time, or until symptoms of over- 
feeding are produced, such as coated tongue, anorexia, constipation, 
headache and lassitude. When these symptoms appear, the administra- 
tion of Sevetol should be temporarily discontinued and a mild but effect- 
ive laxative given for several days, after which its use may be resumed. 

In starvation, life is temporarily sustained by the nutrition supplied 
through the absorption of the fats stored up in the tissues. These being 
exhausted, the proteid material of the muscles and various organs is oxi- 
dized to supply the necessary requirements of the organism. As the fats 
are the more readily available nutriment, and therefore an important fac- 
tor in maintaining nutritive or metabolic processes, the value of Sevetol 
in the treatment of all forms of disease in which there is a great demand 
for a substance that will supply the necessary energy, and prevent tissue 
destruction which would otherwise take place, will be readily appreciated. 
Sevetol is of very great importance as a conserver of tissue, and its liberal 
use is especially indicated in the treatment of all diseases attended with 
marked tissue waste. 

It is a well known fact that the tissues require a certain amount of 
proteid to supply the requisite nitrogen ; in fact, proteid is absolutely 
necessary for the formation of new protoplasm, and it is for this reason 
that, in addition to carefully selected fats, we have added to Sevetol an 
easily assimilable form of proteid. 

Sevetol contains the elements most essential to the human economy — 
namely, proteids, fats and carbohydrates. The latter are very easily and 
rapidly utilized to supply the wants of the system ; the fats more slowly, 
but it is conceded by all authorities that they afford a much larger source 
of energy than either proteids or carbohydrates ; while the proteid con- 
stituent enters into the formation of new tissue and repairs the broken- 
down cell structure. 

This preparation is of great value in the treatment of all cases of defec- 
tive nutrition, extreme weakness, prostration, convalescence from any dis- 
ease, lessening of the vital powers, etc., as it will not only supply the 
necessary heat and energy required by an active organism, but it presents 
also the life-sustaining principles essential to rapid convalescence. 

In acute and chronic forms of bronchitis occurring in adults or chil- 
dren, this preparation will prove a valuable adjunct to any other treatment 
the attending physician may employ, as it exerts a soothing influence on 
the sensitive and inflamed membrane, supplies an abundant source of 
nourishment and reinforces the tissues, thereby facilitating their more 
rapid recuperation from the effects of the disease. 

Sevetol will prove extremely valuable in the treatment of rachitis, in 
which the digestive power is usually deficient ; for little effort is required 
of the digestive apparatus to induce the absorption of Sevetol, and the 

18 



274 Kindly specify "Wybth's" when prescribing. 

beneficial effects following its administration will be found very great. It 
is strongly indicated for the wasting, emaciation and general atrophy of 
marasmus, as it takes an important part in tissue reconstruction and 
stimulates metabolism. 

In cases of intestinal disturbance, torpidity of the liver and disease of 
the pancreas where there is interference with digestion, especially of the 
fats, Sevetol should prove of paramount importance by virtue of its being 
readily absorbed. During the convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid 
fever and the infectious diseases, there usually exists an impoverished 
condition of the blood with a lessened power of resistance in the various 
tissues ; in fact, the vital powers are very much lowered, and it is neces- 
sary to administer, in addition to the nourishment usually taken, an 
easily digestible and assimilable preparation. Clinical experience will 
fully demonstrate that Sevetol fulfills all the requirements of these cases. 

While Sevetol will prove of value in the treatment of all wasting dis- 
eases, it will be found particularly useful in pulmonary tuberculosis, 
leading medical authorities agree that it is extremely essential that a 
larger percentage of fats be ingested by tubercular patients than by per- 
sons in health • but the former cases usually have a very strong aversion 
to fatty foods. Even the continued use of cod-liver oil and similar prepa- 
rations is contraindicated by reason of the repugnance which they induce. 

However, the palatability of Sevetol renders it entirely practicable to 
omit from the diet of tubercular patients the forced feeding of fatty foods ; 
and if liberal quantities of this preparation be given, its ease of digestion 
and rapidity of absorption insure a large supply of readily available fats. 

That the palatability of a food renders it more readily digestible has 
been proven in a series of exhaustive experiments by Pawlow, in which 
he demonstrated the favorable influence on the digestive process of a food 
which is palatable and acceptable to the patient, as it exerts a psychical 
stimulating effect on the flow of natural juices. 

It is in the primary stage of tuberculosis that the most gratifying results 
will attend the use of Sevetol, and the experience of physicians will clearly 
prove that this preparation will not only cause an almost immediate 
improvement in the general condition of the patient at this period of the 
disease, but it will, in many cases, effect an entire cure. 

Even in the second stage of tuberculosis, in which there is a marked 
waste of the tissues, Sevetol will not only supply the immediate w T ants of 
the organism, but will limit the progress of the disease, and, indeed, in 
many instances, prolong life for a considerable period. By taking an 
active part in tissue reconstruction it increases tissue resistance, and 
enables it to more effectually withstand the virulence of the tubercle 
bacilli. 

It is customary in tuberculosis to overfeed the patients in an effort to 
rapidly build up the system ; but as many cases have weakened digestion, 
with dilatation of the stomach and concomitant symptoms, this method of 
treatment often proves inadequate. The frequent administration of a 
preparation of easily assimilable fats such as Sevetol will be well borne by 
the average patient, and, aside from supplying the tissues with the proper 
nourishment, will often, by reason of its easy digestion, aid in correcting 
disturbances of the stomach and intestines. 

The administration of Sevetol should be governed entirely by the 
power of assimilation of the individual patient. In the beginning small 
doses should be given, and these should be rapidly increased to the point 
of toleration of the tissues in utilizing the nourishment. In a general 
way, it may be stated that the more destructive the disease and the greater 
the tissue waste, the larger the dose of Sevetol. 

One dessertspoonful to two tablespoonfuls should be given two or three 
times a day, in iced milk, water or wine, increasing the dose every several

days. Children should be given one to two teaspoonfuls at a dose, increas- 
ing according to age. We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance 
of the fact that Sevetol presents not only the mixed fats, but also proteids 
and carbohydrates, iu a permanent and very palatable emulsion, which 
will not suffer deterioration at an ordinary temperature.

This solution differs from the " syrups," with which it might be com- 
pared, in containing no sugar, and in being slightly acid. By adding 
creasote the antiseptic, antifermentative properties possessed by these 
salts have been materially increased, as well as their efficacy in gastro- 
intestinal disorders and in phthisis. A solution of the hypophosphites, 
with an acid reaction and rendered aseptic, is certainly an improve- 
ment on other methods of preparation. Their powers are greatly in- 
creased by acting in such a medium ; for not only is the slight acidity a 
necessary stimukis to the appetite and digestion — important adjuncts to 
the reconstituent effects of these salts — but the salts themselves retain 
their peculiar powers better in the presence of an acid. Moreover, as 
this solution contains no sugar, it can be used in diseases where the 
presence of a fermentative substance is objectionable. In such a disease 
as diabetes, for example, in some stages of it particularly, the hypophos- 
phites are very useful ; but as they have been usually prepared in the 
form of syrups, which contain a large proportion of sugar, their valuable 
tonic powers have by this concomitant been rendered of little avail to an 
important contingent of invalids and convalescents. The presence, too, 
of an antiferment like creasote is an important item in the treatment of 
diabetes and of intestinal dyspepsias and disorders of the portal system. 
These troubles largely depend upon the prolonged existence of ferments 
in the intestinal tract, and creasote is exceedingly powerful in destroying 
those low vegetable organisms by which the process of fermentation is 
caused. 

It is, however, more particularly for the sake of its power in con- 
sumption, in the therapy of which creasote occupies the first place at 
the present day, that we have added it to this solution. We have, in this 
way, combined its antiseptic, germicide properties with the reconstituent, 
tonic effects of the hypophosphites, as well as with their effects upon 
appetite, digestion and assimilation. It is not long since the hypophos- 
phites were considered specifics in consumption. Although it is hardly 
possible, now that Koch's discovery of the bacillus has revealed the real 
cause of that disease, to accept the theory of the specificity of these salts, 
it is certain that in practice "they increase the appetite and digestion, 
regenerate the blood, diminish cough and expectoration, improve in 
a striking manner the general health, and even bring about actual 
cures." (See Dujardin-Beaumetz, Diet, de Therapeutique, t. iv, p. 236 ;

Thorowgood, "On Consumption and its Treatment by the Hypophos- 
phites," second, edition, London ; Dechambre, Gaz. hebd., 1858, p. 686.) 

Dr. Churchill, an American physician residing in Paris, introduced 
the hypophosphites into medical practice. His success with them in the 
treatment of phthisis was striking. Of thirty-five cases, of varying 
degrees of gravity, reported in his first pamphlet, he gives nine cured. 
In another edition of this work he shows even better results. Of seventy- 
nine cases of tuberculosis of one lung he had eleven cures ; out of fifty- 
four with both lungs affected he reports twenty-five improved, ten cured. 
(De la Cause et du Traitement specifique de la Phthisie pulmonaire, Paris.) 
Such favorable results prompted a good many trials of the hypophos- 
phites in France, England and America. Dr. Thorowgood, an excellent 
authority, after five years' experience with them, writes as follows: " In 
very many of these cases decided and unmistakable good came of their 
administration, and that, too, when other well devised means of cure had 
proved useless." {Loc. cit., p. 8.) Again, speaking of one hundred cases 
of undoubted phthisis, he says, " Twenty were most decidedly and perma- 
nently benefited by the use of the hypophosphites of sodium and lime." 
(P. 10.) Sentences such as these, coming from such an authority, are 
unmistakable evidence of a real advance in therapeutics — an advance that 
will be seen in its true importance if we quote Dr. Williams's opinion 
of the unfavorable conditions of treatment anterior to Dr. Churchill's 
discovery. " During seven years," says Dr. Williams, " I have observed 
six thousand cases of consumption, and of these only twenty-four proved 
real cures." That this enormous mortality has been lessened is certainly 
due, among other causes, to the introduction of the hypophosphites. 

With reference to the value of particular salts, it has been observed 
that the hypophosphite of lime exerts an especially wholesome action in 
consumption. The precise raison d'itre of this is not absolutely known. 
As an - explanation, it has been noted that workers in limekilns enjoy 
almost complete immunity from phthisis. (Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 
1888.) This immunity is very likely due to the contact of lime, much of 
which is absorbed in the lungs of these workers. The lime salt is found 
to be more efficient than the other hypophosphites in checking the 
troublesome "night-sweats" of consumptives. (Lancet, vol. i, 1876, p. 
704.) The hypophosphite of strychnine, besides its excellent general 
effects in phthisis, does good chiefly by stimulating the appetite. Dr. 
Felix Wolfe, an able and cautious authority, recommends it for that pur- 
pose. (Die Moderne Behandlung der Lungenschwindsucht, Weisbaden, 
1894, p. 143.) According to the same authority, iron is an excellent 
remedy in consumption. Its action, however, as well as that of the 
hypophosphite of quinine, hardly needs extended notice. On the blood, 
tissue metamorphosis, appetite and assimilation in the debility of con- 
sumptives, the tonic effect of these salts should not be dispensed with. 
In the treatment of consumption, the combination of the hypophos- 
phites and creasote should be very effective. Creasote supplies here that 
necessary property in which the hypophosphites are deficient, namely, 
the power of destroying germs. Creasote is undoubtedly (if we may 
believe the authorities) the first remedy at the present day in phthisis. 
Its power here depends upon several properties, which seem to belong to 
it alone, viz. : — ■ 

(1) It is excreted by the lungs, and keeps them in a condition of 
asepsis, very hostile to the growth and reception of bacilli. 

(2) It may be given in large doses. 

(3) It may be continued, if given properly diluted, for a long period. 
The first attribute is the most important. A sufficient dose in a short 

time diffuses in the lungs, in the form of a faint vapor of extreme density, 
permeating the cellular tissue and air spaces, and maintaining therein 



278 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

what has been excellently termed by Dr. LauTh an "antiseptic atmos- 
phere." He thus describes his experience of creasote among the habituks 
of the L-eydin Sanatorium (Vaudoise Alps) : "It has a favorable effect in 
nearly all cases. This result . . . possesses a very great importance, and 
permits us to believe that the favor enjoyed by this medicament is not 
destined to disappear. If we admit, in fact (and recent investigations 
authorize us in doing so), that the consumptive is peculiarly liable to 
secondary attacks of infection, that these are the principal causes of the 
bad general condition of the patient, of the fever, sweats, abundance of 
expectoration, and consequently of the progressive and rapid course of 
the disease, we can only congratulate ourselves upon having in our hands 
an agent that maintains permanently in the lungs an antiseptic atmos- 
phere and combats with advantage the secondary infection, that, by 
making the pulmonary lesion a purely local affair, allows the body to 
recruit its forces, and finally, after a period more or less lengthy, come 
out free from the tubercular lesion itself. " (Congres pour V Etude de la 
Tuberculose, Paris, 1894, p. 362.) 

The "secondary infection" (a renewed invasion of bacilli) is a very 
noteworthy circumstance in the growth of tuberculosis of the lungs. A 
proper study of it reveals the danger of the disease, and incidentally the 
curative powers of creasote. The " secondary infection " is brought about 
by the combined action in the lungs of the bacillus tuberculosis and the 
/>ws-forming germs, the streptococcus pyogenes aureus. It happens that 
the latter is the more destructive of the two, and that without its assistance 
the bacillus has a comparatively feeble effect. The bacillus, in truth, has 
little chance in a healthy lung, but where a proper soil has been prepared 
for it by the streptococcus pyogenes aureus (as after a purulent pneu- 
monia) it grows rapidly. The use of creasote in such circumstances is of 
essential importance, for creasote rapidly destroys the pus-forming germs 
(Marfori) ; and while its effect on the development of the bacilli is not 
so satisfactory, it is sufficient to check their growth, and, consequently, 
the course of the disease. (Cornet, Guttmann, Sommerbrodt.) 

It is for these reasons that creasote is a remedy of conspicuous utility 
in consumption. Admirable results have been reported from the use of 
the pure form, the so-called "wood creasote," of which we give a sample 
in this solution. It is to be borne in mind that the reported failures are 
due to the use of the ordinary drug, " the mineral oil creasote," whose 
properties are irritating. (BurlurEaux, Gaz. des Hop., No. 71, 1894; 
Bouchard and GiMBERT, Bull, de Ther., No. 93, 1877.) Very agreeable 
preparations of creasote are now made, which we combine, where occasion 
requires it, in this solution — preparations of hardly the same efficacy as 
pure creasote, but, possessing no taste and odor, they are sometimes pre- 
ferred. Such are " creasotal," or the carbonate of creasote, guaiacol and 
its carbonate, etc. Good results have been obtained with these in phthisis. 
Collin reports excellent effects in tubercular cystitis with guaiacol. It 
is also, locally applied, a powerful antipyretic. 

Burlureaux, Bouchard and Gimbert, Sommerbrodt, Wilcox, 
GoTTHEiL, HoLTSCHER and others have used creasote and its prepara- 
tions in a very large number of cases of consumption with marked suc- 
cess. Bouchard and GimberT had twenty-five cures out of ninety-three 
cases; Burlureaux, fifteen, in very advanced stages, out of three hun- 
dred. HoLTSCHER had good results from the employment of the carbo- 
nate of guaiacol. It is mild in its action, but effective. (Cenlralbl. fiir 
die Ges. Therapie, 1895, p. 123.) Dr. Wilcox, of New York, speaks in 
the same terms of it. Finally, it might be mentioned that Sommerbrodt, 
who has employed creasote in five thousand cases of consumption, is a 
warm supporter of it. 

Next in importance to their uses in phthisis are the applications 01

the hypophosphites to all conditions of debility from overwork, worry, 
excess, etc., in impotence, arnzmia and spermatorrhoea. Iron, strychnine 
and phosphorus are in these states powerful agents of restoration and 
repair, acting energetically upon the processes of nutrition, and building 
up in a general way the wasted system. 

In preparing this solution we have taken into consideration the points 
raised in the preceding paragraphs. "We have succeeded, we are confident, 
in getting up a convenient, safe, palatable and likewise permanent solu- 
tion, that may be taken by women and children and the most delicate. 
Indeed, for invalid women and children suffering from loss of appetite and 
inanition it will be found an invaluable tonic. 

Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful immediately before or after 
each meal ; for a child, one-half to one teaspoonful, according to age or 
condition of patient. 



SOLUTION PEPTONATE OF IRON AND 
MANGANESE. (Neutral.) 

(LIQUOR MANGANO-FERRI PEPTONATUS— WYETH.) 

FOR ANEMIA, CHLOROSIS, SCROFULA, DFBIIJTY. 

It is a valuable attainment of the medical and pharmaceutical art to 
so adapt organic and inorganic substances in combination that the results 
will meet the chemistry of the animal organism and not be negatived. 
This is believed to be attained completely by the union of iron and man- 
ganese with peptone. It often happens that the metallic salts are simply 
ingested when given as a medicine, remaining for a time wholly inactive 
in the intestinal course and then being ejected without change. With 
iron and manganese, however, in assimilable solution, and the digestive 
operations partly initiated by the introduction of soluble peptone, this 
difficulty is removed. Observation and recorded experience have abun- 
dantly confirmed this anticipation, and the value of the peptone addition 
may be summarized thus : 

1. By association with peptone the albuminates of iron and manganese 
become " digested," or, in other words, much of the labor of the stomach 
and pancreas in this respect is saved. 

2. Peptone is a body that is not provided abundantly by the stomach, 
even in health ; hence its artificial administration is, for weak digestion, 
a desideratum. 

3. It is a necessary adjunct of pancreatic digestion. 

4. It is easily absorbed. 

5. It increases peristaltic action. 

The substance of the intestinal membrane, subjected to chemical anal- 
ysis, presents unmistakable evidence of the presence of iron ; and although 
the tests for manganese have not been carried to the same extent, it may, 
with reason, be inferred that precisely the same results do occur with that 
metal under tbe same conditions. It is a notable fact that without the 
peptone association these results do not occur in a sufficiently marked 
degree to become appreciable. Again, peptone is clearly recognized as 
a stimulant to all the digestive processes. It is known to increase the 
peristaltic or muscular action of intestinal surfaces, and the general accel- 
eration promotes the absorption of all substances exposed to the action. 
It also lessens the astringency of the salt of iron, which has always here- 
tofore been an insurmountable impediment to its exhibition in the usual 
accessible form. The fact that iron and manganese are both found, 
normally, in the haemoglobin of red blood-corpuscles points to the value of 



280 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 

their use when these constituents are palpably absent, as they undoubtedly 
are in that wide range of indications which are characterized by anaemia, 
both moderate and profound. Dr. Robert L. PiTFIEXD, who has made 
an especial study of the action of our own preparation of Peptonate of Iron 
and Manganese, noticed in his cases a gain of haemoglobin of three and 
even eight per cent. He tested the weight of his patients and observed a 
satisfactory gain in that respect also. 

To sum up, our Peptonate of Iron and Manganese will be found very 
useful in the following diseases: scrofula, anaemia, chlorosis, amenorrhcea, 
debility from various causes, convalescence from acute fevers and surgical 
operations, nervous maladies, such as Graves's disease, neurasthenia, 
epilepsy, cretinism and any other nervous condition requiring a tonic, 
strengthening medicine, in rickets, pyloric stenosis, phthisis, diabetes, etc. 

This remedy is of pleasant neutral taste. It can readily be taken in a 
little water, milk or sweet wine free from tannin, as may be preferred. It 
is non-astringent and does not injure the teeth or constipate the bowels. 

Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful well diluted with water, milk 
or sweet wine, thee or four times a day ; for a child, one to two tea- 
spoonfuls ; for an infant, fifteen to sixty drops, according to directions of 
attending physician.

the stomach and act as a general stomachic tonic. 

Dose. — As an antacid, one- half teaspoonful in water, at meal-time ; as 
a laxative, one to three tablespoonfuls in hot water, before breakfast. 
For children the above doses should be subdivided according to age. 

SPENCER'S CHLORAMINE PASTILLES. 

FOR THE CURB OF HOARSENESS, SORE THROAT, BRONCHITIS, CODGH AND 
OTHER DERANGEMENTS OF THE BREATHING TUBES AND LUNGS. 

These are absolutely the most pleasant and efficacious pastilles yet 
introduced for the relief of the various disorders of the respiratory organs 
induced by the changeableness of the climate. 

As the name implies, the principal ingredient of these pastilles is 
ammonium muriate, which is itself a valuable remedy for the cure of 
many bronchial affections, and is here associated with other medicines 
having a powerful calmative influence over the mucous membrane of 
the respiratory tubes, thereby adding effectiveness to the pastilles and 
extending their range of usefulness. 

Influenza, hoarseness, soreness of throat, or any irritation of the throat 
arising from cold, will almost invariably be relieved by the use of a few of 
the pastilles. For clearing and strengthening the voice, they will be 
found very serviceable. 

Directions. — Allow one of the pastilles at a time to dissolve slowly in 
the mouth, taking from eight to twelve during the twenty-four hours. 

SUCCUS TARAXACI. 

(dandelion juice.) 

This preparation embodies, in a very convenient and agreeable form, 
the stomachic and tonic virtues of the plant. It is, moreover, a mild 
laxative, promoting the secreting action of the liver, and may be com- 
bined to great advantage with diuretics in cases of abdominal dropsy. 

In making this article we use the roots, collected in November before 
the first frosts, when the juice is thick and gluing and its medicinal 
properties are most powerful. The formula employed is based upon that 
of Mr. Peter Squire, of London, to whom is due the 'credit of first 
suggesting the therapeutical use of the fresh juice of plants. 

To the many physicians who are aware of the value of taraxacum as 
a stimulant of the biliary secretions, and thus as a promoter of the 
natural action of the bowels, we are sure that this excellent and reliable 
preparation will readily commend itself. 

Dose. — One to four teaspoonfuls. 

SUPRARENAL GLAND, DESICCATED. 

(PHYSIOLOGICALLY TESTED. ) 

The therapeutic value of the suprarenal glands, administered inter- 
nally, has long been conceded. They are especially valuable in the treat- 
ment of all cardiac disturbances with which is associated a feeble and 
irregular pulse. They are also indicated in the treatment of Addison's 
disease, and, in fact, in all conditions in which it is desirable to obtain 
the cardiac and vaso-motor stimulating action of the suprarenal capsules. 

For the convenience of physicians when prescribing, we offer the 
glands in the form of compressed tablets, each containing two grains.

THYPTOL. 

(LIQUOR EUCALYPTUS COMP.-WYETH.) 

Thyptol represents the purified active principles of Eucalyptus, Mentha Arvensis, 
Thyme, Gaultheria and Baptisia Tincloria, with sixteen grains Acid Benzo- 
Boric in each flaidounce. 

Thyptol is a liquid, free from all deleterious properties, not irritating 
but on the contrary balsamic, soothing, healing, of pleasing fragrant odor, 
suggestive of a cleansing, purifying, refreshing effect. At the ordinary 
temperature, a mean of 6o° F. , the liquid is transparent and bright, but at 
a reduced point a slight opacity is produced upon a portion of its con- 
stituents, but not to the extent of impairing its usefulness or application. 
Increased warmth restores the natural condition. It mixes freely with 
water and has no material incompatibility with the liquids of most medi- 
cines ; particularly is this true of Tincture Iron Chloride, U. S. P., with 
which the prescriber so frequently finds it desirable to combine it. This 
property makes its adaptation and dilution for many purposes extremely 
convenient. It may be only necessary to add that it is a most effective 
antiseptic of its class of correctives and preventives of milder form (and 
this term may be assumed to include all properties which markedly dis- 
tinguish such agents) . 

The principle and theory of its composition should at once accord it 
the preference over all other professedly similar compositions for the 
diversified applications to which it is so well adapted. An assurance to 
the medical or professional mind that the therapeutic adaptation of a 
remedy is based upon a scientific knowledge, combined with a skilful 
and accurate proportionate composition, should of itself be sufficient to 
establish its use as a recognized therapeutic agent, and this without 
the aid of individual endorsement, certificate or recommendation which 
so frequently accompany the presentation of new products for the at- 
tention of physicians. In gynaecology, rhinology, laryngology, tonsil- 
litis, otorrhcea, urethritis, cystitis, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, in zymotic 
and cutaneous diseases, in indigestion, and last, but not least, in dentistry 



284 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 

and all surgery, Thyptol will be found a valuable addition to the arma- 
mentarium of specialists, and a necessary accessory of operations. The 
merit of a preparation like Thyptol is the most permanent and secure 
foundation upon which its preference and uses will rest. 

After such convincing proof is established the commendation of the 
physician and surgeon constitute a most satisfactory compensation in 
confirming truth. 

A more complete risumi of the therapy of Thyptol and its vast field of usefulness 
will be mailed on application, and the correspondence of physicians is solicited. 



THYROID GLANDS. 

(in powder and pill form.) 

a remedy for obesity, myxcedema and other maladies 
hitherto incurable. 

A vast field of therapeutic possibilities has been opened by the dis- 
covery of the uses of certain animal organs, in which category the 
substance or an Extract of the Thyroid Gland occupies the first and 
distinctly the most brilliant place. The value of this remedy is plainly 
revealed in the results of recent study, experimental and clinical, of the 
functions of this hitherto mysterious portion of the human economy, of 
the peculiar maladies that the atrophy and overgrowth as well of the 
thyroid gland may cause in man, and of the similar affections that its 
artificial ablation has been observed to cause in animals. Indeed, this 
striking coincidence of the existence of a natural and an artificial malady 
both alike caused by the loss or atrophy of the thyroid gland is the fun- 
damental fact on which all the subsequent theory and proof of the unique 
value of this extract as a remedy have been established. It is undoubtedly 
sufficient in itself, and clinical experience has amply demonstrated the 
truth of an a priori inference. 

The peculiar cachexia, or disease caused by the atrophy of the thyroid 
gland was called by its discoverers, Sir William Gull and Dr. Ord, of 
London, myxcedema. It is more common than its late discovery would 
seem to show, and the treatment then instituted — arsenic, iron and tonics 
— was absolutely without avail. The symptoms are, when developed, 
exceedingly grave and disfiguring: growth of mucin in the connective 
tissues of the body, due to an abnormal activity of the lymphatic glands, 
roughening and thickening of the skin of face, hands, rump, etc., loss of 
hair and weight and appetite, swelling of the lips and eyebrows, protu- 
berance of the abdomen, perhaps caused by the exceedingly obstinate 
constipation, profound dulness of mind and sensation (deafness, loss of 
memory, absence of the sense of smell) , dulness amounting sometimes 
to idiocy, tremor of the muscles with heightened reflex excitability, a 
feeling of cold due to the impoverished condition of the blood (decrease 
of red blood, and increase of white corpuscles, albumen and leucocytes), 
quickened action of the heart and respiration , together with diminished 
blood pressure, gradually increasing weakness of mind and body, fitfully 
interrupted by tetanic and cliotic convulsions, ending, it may even be, 
in death. 

These grave symptoms, elaborately described, especially in a recent 
able monograph by Dr. Buschan ( Ueber Myxodem und vewandle Zustdnde, 
Leipzig und Wien, 1896, pp. 20 and 105) , are, for the most part, easily and 
permanently cured by the Thyroid Extract. It has been given thus far 
chiefly in tabloids or in powders, which are not less effective than the raw 
gland ; but originally the gland was either transplanted by surgical means

from the sheep to the human subject, as was done first by BeTTancourT 
and Serrona (Gas. des Hopitaux , 1890, pp. 869, 1225) , by La.nnei,ougue 
(Bui. med. du Nord, 1890) , by Horsi,ey (Lancet, 1891, ii) and others, or 
ingested uncooked, in chopped form — a troublesome and disagreeable 
method. The juice of the gland was also tried, notably by Dr. Murray, 
of London, with excellent results. It was given, as a rule, by injection. 
His cases, which numbered six, did well, but his success, striking for that 
day, is much exceeded now. (Brit. Med. Jour., 1891, ii, p. 796 ; 1892, ii, 
p. 449. ) It is obvions that the powdered extract made into the form of a 
tabloid is vastly more convenient than the previous methods of adminis- 
tration or than the crude expedients just described, and, being equally 
effective, should be employed without hesitation. With respect to the 
value and efficacy of the powdered extract, Dr. Byron Bramweli,, of 
Edinburgh, who has seen and studied more cases of myxcedema than any 
other authority, having observed no less than twenty-eight examples, 
these comparatively of a rare disease, says, "The effects produced in 
cases of myxcedema by the introduction into the organism of a relatively 
minute quanty of Thyroid Extract, the rapidity with which all the charac- 
teristic symptoms of the disease disappear under the influence of the 
thyroid treatment, and the extraordinary improvement, both in the 
physical and mental condition of sporadic cretins, which result from 
the regular and prolonged administration of Thyroid Extract, are very 
remarkable. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that the cure of myxce- 
dema by thyroid treatment is one of the greatest therapeutic achievements 
of this or any other age, and that the flood of light which has been thrown 
upon the functions of the thyroid gland by the experimental, pathological 
and clinical researches of the past few years, and by the marvelous thera- 
peutic results which have been obtained in cases of myxcedema and spo- 
radic cretinism, has opened up a wide field of investigation alike for the 
physiologist, the pathologist and the physician. 

' ' That the myxcedematous symptoms undergo immediate improvement 
after the introduction of a portion of thyroid gland into the abdominal 
cavity, or into the subcutaneous cellular tissue, and that myxcedema can 
be cured by the subcutaneous injection of a liquid extract of the thyroid 
gland, were remarkable discoveries ; but that the administration of the 
thyroid gland, given either in the raw or partly cooked state, in the form 
of a liquid extract, or even of a dry powder, is able, when introduced into 
the body through the stomach, to cause the rapid disappearance of all the 
myxcedematous symptoms and to lead to a cure of the disease, seems to 
me still more extraordinary." (Edinburgh Hospital Reports, 1895, pp. 
116, 117.) In the subjoined account of his twenty-eight cases of myxce- 
dema and sporadic cretinism, Dr. Bramweu used the gland either raw, 
and finely chopped and concealed in rice paper, or in the more convenient 
tablets, with the same conspicuously remarkable success in both instances. 
It is scarcely necessary to add that the Thyroid Extract has been employed 
in myxcedema by every physician of eminence who has met with this 
strange disease. 

The published reports of these cases show a uniform success with the 
remedy, so that the thyroid treatment may be confidently declared a 
specific mode of therapeutics. Chief among these opinions must be 
placed the report of the committee of the Clinical Society of London. 
Their favorable judgment has been supported by a list of physicians too 
numerous to mention, but among whom may be cited Horsley, Ewaed, 
BournevieIvE, Ouer, Charcot, Mendel, Marie, Saenger, Bdschan, 
W. Pasteur, Napier, Garrod, Murreix, of Europe, and Putnam, 
Barthoi<ow, Osusr, Simpson, of America. 

" Up to the end of 1894," writes W. Pasteur, "one hundred and fifty 
cases of myxcedema at least — probably many more — have so far been

published where the administration of Thyroid Extract has been practised, 
and, with the exception of but two cases, this mode of treatment has 
always been followed by a constant and remarkable improvement." He 
reports, himself, three successful cases of myxcedema, and adds that in 
sporadic cretinism the thyroid treatment is equally beneficial. {Rev. mid. 
de la Suisse rom., 1894, p. 36.) With regard to the latter point, the treat- 
ment of sporadic cretinism and its allied condition, obesity, by means 
of this extract, we wish to call especial attention to the powers of the 
remedy, and to explain succinctly the physiological reasons for its remark- 
able efficacy in these obstinate and hitherto hopeless cases. Tersely 
speaking, the Thyroid Extract helps the consumption of fat. (Archives 
of Pediatrics, 1896, p. 202.) It was found, in fact, experimentally by 
Roos, that it causes, when given to a healthy animal, a marked excretion 
of nitrogen and acid phosphoric, accomplishes a dissolution of albumen, 
and materially reduces the body weight by oxidizing fats. (Zeitsckrift fur 
phys. Chemie, 1890, p. 30.) In other words, the thyroid treatment helps 
the proteid metabolism of the organism. In practice, these facts, experi- 
mentally determined, were first utilized by Bourneviixe, who found 
that the growth of obese, stunted children was materially augmented by 
employing this remedy. It reduced the weight and decidedly increased 
the height and muscular power of two dwarfish, myxcedematous children. 
(Gaz. hebdomadaire, 1896, p. 77.) Dr. Putnam, of Boston, has likewise 
had considerable success with the Thyroid Extract in cases of obesity. 
One of his patients lost thirty-nine pounds in three months, another 
forty-two pounds in four months, and so on. (Boston Med. and Surg. 
Journal, 1894, p. 155.) In England the tablets of Thyroid Extract enjoy 
very great favor as a remedy for obesity. Dr. Yorke-Davies writes that 
in ordinary cases the average loss of weight, under this treatment, is four- 
teen pounds the first month, ten to twelve pounds the second month, eight 
to ten pounds the third month. (British Med. Journal, 1894, i, p. 42.) 
In these cases the remedy is a very powerful one and must be used with 
the advice and under the supervision of the physician. (Ibid., p. 55.) 

Such are also the conclusions of Dr. L. Fournier, of Paris, who has 
devoted an entire work to the treatment of obesity by the Thyroid 
Extract. (These de Paris, "Du Traitement de l'Obesite par le Corps 
Thyroid," 1896, p. 68.) "This method," he says, "is so far the best 
mode of treatment for obesity, and, pursued with care, is free from any 
inconvenience." He prefers to use the gland in the form of tablets. The 
dose should be rather small, from six to eight grammes in the course of a 
week. (P. 67.) This treatment should be supplemented by diet, although 
a regimen is by no means absolutely indispensable. (Fournier, Thesis, 
p. 62.) Dr. Yorke-Davies found a regulation of diet serviceable ; but in 
the cases reported by Mackenzie, BarTh, Bouchard and Fournier 
(These, pp. 55-64.) no control of this kind was exercised, and yet the 
patients lost flesh in large amounts. 

Besides this employment of the Thyroid Extract, it has been given 
successfully by S11.EX in Graves's disease, or exophthalmic goitre. (Berl. 
kl. Wochensch., 1869, p. 136.) 

Dr. Auld, of Glasgow, reports a remarkable cure of psoriasis with this 
remedy. The patient ' ' was given one tabloid daily of the Thyroid 
Extract, with no other treatment, and by the end of a week every trace 
of the disease had disappeared." (British Medical Journal, 1894, ii, p. 
11.) In malignant syphilis, where the usual treatment fails, Dr. Menzies, 
of the Indian Army, achieved excellent results with Thyroid Extract. 
(Ibid. , p. 12. ) Lupus and many forms of skin disease have been markedly 
benefited. (Lake, Jessop, Bramwew, in British Medical Journal, 1897, 
ii, pp. 71 and 922.) In insanity the thyroid treatment is destined to play 
a most important r61e. For knowledge of its effects here we are so far

chiefly indebted to Dr. Bruce, of Edinburgh. He found the Thyroid 
Extract, given in somewhat large doses (fifteen grains daily) , distinctly 
beneficial in selected cases, mania, melancholia, general paralysis, syphi- 
litic insanity, alcoholic amnesia, puerperal and lactational insanity, and 
insanity at the climacteric. (" On Thyroid Feeding in Insanity, "Journal 
of Mental Science, 1885, p. 53.) In another paper, "On Thyroid Feeding, 
based upon the study of a second series of sixty cases," he says, "The 
results of treatment conclusively prove that the action of thyroid is 
complex. 

"First. — It undoubtedly produces a mild feverish condition, the action 
and reaction of which is often of considerable benefit to the patient. 

" Second. — It is a direct cerebral stimulant. 

"Third. — There is a strong probability that at some periods ot life 
the administration of thyroid supplies some substance necessary to the 
bodily economy." 

The last observation, indeed, is worthy of attention, showing, as it 
does, that the thyroid is indicated as a remedy for senility. In the mal- 
adies of old age it has been employed, so far, solely by VERMEHEEN, 
whose results are somewhat vaguely set forth. {Deutsche Med. Wochen- 
schrift, 1894.) It is, however, in such cases strongly to be recommended 
on physiological and clinical grounds. 

The most recent experiences have demonstrated that while the raw 
gland or a properly prepared extract will accomplish the curative results 
set forth above, the real active constituent is the colloid material con- 
tained in the acini. This substance contains much iodine and some phos- 
phorus. According to Hutchinson (British Med. Journal, Jan. 23, 1897, 
p. 194) , the colloid is practically the only active constituent of the gland, 
and must be present to the full extent and in its natural and unimpaired 
condition in any powdered preparation or concentration such as is used 
to manufacture tablets. It keeps indefinitely, is free from taste and odor, 
and a very small dose is necessary. 

The tablets which we offer are more active than those hitherto em- 
ployed, for not only are they composed largely of the colloid extract in 
its purity, but the fat, fibrous tissue and other extraneous matter have 
been removed by careful scientific methods. The tablets contain the 
active colloid — the essence, in fact, of the thyroid gland — in an absolutely 
unaltered condition. In extracting this constituent of the thyroid in 
this, its purest and most concentrated form, we have been guided by the 
results of recent science and by the extensive experience in the manu- 
facture of similar organic products and the animal digestive ferments ; 
and we are thus enabled to say, we believe with certainty, that we are 
furnishing here a more homogeneous, reliable and efficient preparation 
of the thyroid gland than any other hitherto placed on the market. 
The glands are removed fresh from the sheep under our personal super- 
vision, and all hygienic and antiseptic conditions during the whole process 
of concentration and purifying are absolutely perfect and carried out with 
attention to the minutest details.. Our powdered thyroidal matter is in 
its purest and most reliable condition , is unalterable and always of uniform 
strength. 

The tablets represent five and ten grains of the fresh thyroid gland. 
The daily dose is one to three tablets, taken at suitable intervals. For 
cases of the insane a larger dose may be given, the physician being 
guided by the amount of "febrile reaction." To reduce the flesh in 
healthy individuals, when obesity does not exist, the tablets should be 
employed with prudence. In senility one tablet morning and evening 
will have beneficial results. 

As a valuable adjunct to the thyroid treatment we would recommend 
the simultaneous use of our Granular Effervescing Sodium Phosphate. 



288 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 

The form in which we have put up this well known and thoroughly 
reliable drug — the effervescent — makes its employment easy and agree- 
able. Sodium phosphate is a mild but certain hepatic stimulant and 
laxative. As a soda salt it contributes to maintain the alkalinity of the 
bile, and may thus prevent the formation of calculi and effect the solution 
of "inspissated bile." Abundant experience has demonstrated its utility 
in catarrh of the bile-ducts, the most common cause of "biliousness." 
It is contained in the serum of the blood in large amount, and is not, 
therefore, a substance foreign to the body, but may be used freely without 
danger of ulterior ill effect. It a 1 so serves an important purpose in the 
economy to promote the nutrition of nervous matter. 

In the treatment of obesity by the thyroid medication it has an impor- 
tant place as an adjunct. It favors the oxidation and emulsionizing of 
the surplus fat and unappropriated fatty accumulations. Thus, it not 
only aids the reducing power of the Thyroid Gland Tablets, but main- 
tains the nutrition of parts whose integrity is essential to the due per- 
formance of the bodily functions. During the course of the thyroid 
medication the Effervescent Sodium Phosphate should be given in suffi- 
cient quantity, two or three times a day, to maintain a soluble state of the 
bowels. The amount taken should be determined by the degree of action 
on the intestinal canal. 

THYROID GLAND GLYCEROLE. 

A solution of colloid constituents of the Thyroid Glands of the sheep, each 
fluidrachm representing five grains of the fresh glands. 

Dose. — For an adult, from one to four teaspoonfuls. 

TINCTURE RED GUM, AROMATIC. 

Prepared from an exudation from the bark of the Eucalyptus Rostraia. 
Soluble in water or alcohol. 

In asking the attention of the dental profession to this admirable 
preparation, we desire to briefly outline a few of its peculiar properties, 
and, by comparison, endeavor to confirm its many great advantages over 
the well known vegetable astringents. An important property which it 
possesses — and one that will at once be fully appreciated by the profession 
in their practical operations — is its complete solubility in aqueous solu- 
tions, enabling its unlimited dilution without change or precipitation. In 
this respect it contrasts very favorably with the various preparations of 
catechu, kino, krameria and myrrh, which invariably become more or less 
turbid upon similar treatment. 

A few drops of this tincture added to two ounces of water make a most 
delicate and refreshing wash, especially applicable to sore and inflamed 
gums. Its freedom from the persistent bitter taste that frequently char- 
acterizes many of the vegetable astringents offers a strong argument for 
its local administration to children and fastidious patients. Its astrin- 
gency is not only pronounced but peculiar, exercising a tendency to 
adhere to the mucous surface with remarkable persistency, and imparting 
a character and tone that cannot be obtained from preparations of a 
similar nature. 

Its use as a gargle in sore and inflamed conditions of the throat and 
mucous membranes is most efficacious, its peculiar property of adhering 
to and sheathing the source of irritation affording almost immediate relief. 

Dentists, when operating, will find our Aromatic Tincture of invaluable 
service in arresting bleeding of the gums and allaying all inflammatory 
conditions, and we offer it to the profession with the firm conviction that 
it will fully maintain the claim which we so confidently make.

This preparation combines the remedial value of many well-known 
expectorants without the use of any sedative, hypnotic or other objection- 
able ingredient. The disagreeable taste of these expectorants is carefully 
masked without the use of a syrup. 

Directions. — The adult dose is from one to three teaspoonfuls every 
three hours, and in chronic conditions an additional dose may be taken at 
bedtime. Children of two years should have one-half teaspoonful ; four 
years, one teaspoonful ; six years, one and one-half teaspoonfuls ; eight 
years, two teaspoonfuls. Infants from three to twelve months, five to 
twenty drops at regular intervals of three hours. 



VAGINAL TAMPONS— ANTISEPTIC. 

These tampons are presented for the careful consideration of physi- 
cians, with the assurance that they will be found an efficient, aseptic and 
convenient method of employing the various formulae and medicaments 
in the treatment of the many forms of acute, subacute and chronic patho- 
logical conditions peculiar to the female genital tract. The different com- 
binations, suggested by the experience of leading gynecologists and phy- 
sicians, are offered for the relief and cure of the large class of maladies of 
this nature that come under the care of the general practitioner. 

Clinical experience, we feel confident, will fully demonstrate the con- 
venience and cleanliness of the tampon method of treatment. The physi- 
cal properties of the wool are such as to insure a prolonged period of 
contact of the medicament with the diseased surfaces ; and, instead of 
irritating the delicate and inflamed mucous membrane, the tampons 
exert a' decidedly beneficial, antiseptic, alterative and stimulating action 
upon the diseased tissues, greatly aiding in the restoration of the parts to 
the former healthy condition. The specific action of the several formulas 
depends upon the peculiar inherent therapeutic properties of the medica- 
ments. Their use is indicated in the treatment of pruritus vulvas, vagi- 
nitis, leucorrhcea, cervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis, ovaritis, or, in fact, 
for the relief of all forms of pain, discharge and inflammation associated 
with pathological conditions of the pelvic organs and appendages. 

Aside from the direct curative action exerted by these vaginal tampons, 
they act as a mechanical support, and may be employed with advantage 
for the relief of prolapsus uteri, or used as a means of insuring a condition 
of asepsis following operations upon the female genital tract. Owing to 
the bland and non-irritating property of the carefully selected and aseptic 
wool employed in the tampons, great relief from the pain and irritation 
concomitant with vaginitis will be experienced by virtue of their keeping 
the sensitive and inflamed surfaces from coming in contact with each 
other.

While we have carefully selected the various formulae that seem to us 
most useful in the treatment of this class of maladies, at thesime time we 
realize there are a number of equally efficient medicaments w hich physi- 
cians may desire to employ ; and, to meet these requirements, we offer a 
non-medicated tampon, which may be rearily saturated with any solution 
desired by withdrawing the wool from the capsule far enough to permit of 
its saturation with the requisite amount of medicament, after which the 
wool should be drawn back into the capsule by means of the thread 
attached. 

Directions. — The tampons should be employed at night, before retir- 
ing, with the patient preferably in a recumbent position. They should be 
dipped in water before using, and placed well up in the vagina, allowing 
them to remain until morning, or so long as the physician may direct. 
If employed during the day, the patient should be instructed to rest in a 
reclining postui e for twenty or thirty minutes, or sufficiently long to per- 
mit of the dissolution of the gelatine. 

For the convenience of ph> sicians we are prepared to offer the tampons 
in the following sizes and formulae :

WARBURG'S TINCTURE. 

THE CELEBRATED AND WELL-KNOWN EAST-INDIA REMEDY FOR 
MALARIAL FEVERS. 

WITH OR WITHOUT ALOES. 
Each jluidounce represents 

Rhubarb 3 1-2 grains 

A ngelica Seed 3 1-2 grains 

Inula 1 3-4 grains

Also Extract Aloes, 8 grains, when Warburg's Tincture with 
Aloes is supplied. 

The efficacy of this preparation in many cases of prostration from ma- 
larial influences, and as an antiperiodic where quinine and other cinchona 
alkaloids had proved inefficient, warrants the claim that the aromatic 
stimulants and laxatives contained in the formula of Dr. Warburg 
largely increased the potency of the quinine. 

Directions. — First, give the patient any convenient purgative (the 
U. S. P. Compound Cathartic Pill, three of which will be found to be an 
admirable dose in malarial cases) , and when the bowels have been freely 
evacuated give a full tablespoonful (one-half fluidounce) every three 
hours, until a non-exhausting perspiration is produced, manifested by a 
decline of temperature and an abatement of frontal headache. In extreme 
cases of prostration, accompanied by an exhausting perspiration, beef- 
tea, with wine or brandy, may be given as nourishment in connection 
with the remedy. 

WARBURG'S TINCTURE, SPECIAL. 

MODIFIED FORMULA. 

This preparation corresponds to the standard tincture, with the excep- 
tion of the substitution of the cheaper cinchona alkaloids for quinine. 

Dose. — After the stomach has been freely evacuated give one-half 
fluidounce every three hours until a non-exhaustive perspiration is 
induced.

YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC. 

(SEE SYRUP YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC — PAGE 52.) 

ZINC RESPIRATORS, PERFORATED. 

This Respirator was devised by Dr. Burney Yeo, of London, and 
described by him in the British Medical Journal. It was improved as 
suggested by an eminent specialist in this country. 

These Respirators have been used in hospital, dispensary and private 
practice for a number of years, and have proved fully as efficacious as the 
more expensive and cumbersome forms, while they are more cleanly, less 
embarrassing to the respiration, and permit thorough admixture with 
atmospheric air. 

They are well adapted for the treatment (by inhalation) , of catarrh, influ- 
enza, ozema, etc., by means of suitable remedies prescribed by physicians. 

Any volatile material which it is desired to administer by continuous 
inhalation, whether for antiseptic or for remedial purposes, can be used 
in it. The medicament is dropped upon the moistened sponge in the 
cage ; the Respirator is then to be placed over the nose and mouth, and 
secured in position by the elastic cords, which are to be placed back of 
the ears and under the chin. 

Some 'of the substances which may be used are as follows : Creasote, 
Acid Carbolic, Eucal) ptol, Tincture Thymol, Oil of Turpentine, Terebene, 
Compound Tincture of Benzoin, Ethereal Tincture Camphor, Iodide of 
Ethyl, Chloloform, Spirit of Chloroform, and Alcoholic Solution of 
Menthol. Many others will suggest themselves to the practitioner. 

Five or more drops are employed at a time, and renewed as required. 
In the opinion of Dr. Yeo, a mixture of equal parts of Spirit of Chloro- 
form and the active remedy renders the administration more efficacious 
in some instances. Chloroform is especially indicated in cases of irritating 
cough.

FLUID, POWDERED AND 
SOLID EXTRACTS. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 



Fluid Extracts, if prepared from carefully selected drugs collected at 
the proper season, skilfully ground without heat, and then macerated 
and displaced with the proper menstrua, will embody the virtues of the 
different plants in a more convenient and permanent form for the use of 
physicians and druggists than any other pharmaceutical preparation. 

We would direct the attention of physicians to the scrupulous care 
exercised in the selection of the crude material, the skill and accuracy 
involved in its subsequent manipulation, and the thorough and complete 
system of assay introduced to establish its therapeutic uniformity. In this 
connection, we desire to emphasize the importance of determining the 
alkaloidal value of the leading representative preparations. The large 
variety of inferior drugs indiscriminately employed by unscrupulous manu- 
facturers, and the defective methods pursued by them in their faulty 
manipulation, have made the adoption of these precautions imperative. 
At an expenditure of much time and experimental research, we have 
directed our attention toward the perfection of a practical system of assay 
which will insure the utmost reliability. Physicians as well as pharma- 
cists will at once appreciate the expediency of this measure as applied to 
the estimation of the alkaloids in the leading narcotics and other potent 
drugs. These important drugs, while apparently possessing all the well 
known physical characteristics, if gathered from immature plants or at 
improper seasons of the year, will be frequently found deficient in those 
valuable alkaloidal attributes upon which their therapeutic value is in 
many instances wholly dependent. In our efforts to obviate this difficulty, 
and at the same time surround ourselves with every available precaution 
calculated to insure the most accurate results, we have in many cases 
adopted a minimum standard, based upon the average percentage of active 
matter present in a prime quality of commercial drug, and can with con- 
fidence assure the profession that under no circumstances do we deviate 
from these established standards. 

A Fluid Extract should represent the virtues of the drug better than 
infusions or decoctions extemporaneously prepared from crude materials, 
where frequently the virtue of the drug is impaired through age or careless 
manipulation, whereas by simple dilution of the extract with the proper 
quantity of water an infusion or decoction may be made in a few minutes, 
which will contain with absolute certainty all the effectiveness of the drug. 
We cannot urge too strongly upon physicians and druggists the adop- 
tion of Fluid Extracts for the preparation of infusions, decoctions and 
tinctures.

POWDERED EXTRACTS. 

We fully appreciate the grave responsibility which the manufacture 
of these products entails, as well as the watchfulness, skill and devotion 
to detail which are essential to insure uniform and accurate results. The 
scrupulous care so faithfully exercised in the selection of crude material 
for our Fluid Extracts is consistently maintained, the value of the drug 
accurately determined by a preliminary assay, and every possible precau- 
tion adopted which is calculated to elevate the standard and efficiency 
of this line of preparations. Our appliances for facilitating concentration 
are most complete, concentrating in vacuo at a temperature not exceeding 
i2o° F., thus avoiding the destructive oxidation of many of the sensitive 
alkaloids and perishable constituents which establish their therapeutic 
importance. 

We invite the medical profession to critically examine these products, 
to institute crucial comparisons, and to note particularly how well pre- 
served are the sensible and predominating characteristics of the respective 
drugs. 

We are firmly convinced that the satisfactory therapeutic results of 
our compressed goods are largely due to the superior excellence and 
activity of our narcotic and other extracts. We will gladly prepare in 
quantity any special Powdered Extracts that may be desired by our 
customers. 

NOTE. — All drugs containing alkaloids, resins or definite active con- 
stituents are subjected to a preliminary assay and the standard of the 
finished extract adjusted to conform. 

SOLID EXTRACTS. 

We invite attention to our Solid Extracts, which we are prepared to 
supply, and beg at the same time to direct attention to the fact that our 
appliances for the preparation of these extracts are unsurpassed, of the 
most modern and improved construction, enabling us to produce this 
class of preparations of exceptional merit and efficacy. Where extracts 
are prepared from drugs containing alkaloids, resins or other definite active 
constituents, the value of the drug is definitely determined by preliminary 
assay and every practical precaution adopted which is calculated to ele- 
vate the standard and efficacy of the finished product. We invite the 
most critical examination and comparison of our products, feeling confi- 
dent that, with our process conducted in vacuo, avoiding destructive oxi- 
dation of the sensitive alkaloids and perishable constituents so essential 
to therapeutic value, our extracts will be found superior to any similar 
products offered.

Fluid Extract Dose. — 1 to 2 fldrs. (3.75 to 7.50 c.c.) 

Powdered Extract. 1 grain represents 5 grains of Corn Silk. 

Dose. — 10 to 20 grs. (0.65 to 1.30 gms.) 

Corn Silk, for very many years, has been held in great favor as a 
home remedy, and was largely used, with marked success, as a diu- 
retic in cardiac and renal dropsy, in cases of uric and phosphatic gravely 
vesical catarrh, acute and chronic cystitis, as well as in dropsical affec- 
tions and as a mild, stimulating diuretic. 

At the same time, the belief in its great efficacy was confined almost: 
entirely to domestic use, being administered as a fresh infusion, phy- 
sicians not realizing its great value until late years. It was only in 1890 
that, owing to the satisfactory results from its use by the medical pro- 
fession, it received official notice in the United States Pharmacopoeia. 

The efficacy of the drug depends almost entirely upon the selection, 



304 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing.

of the fresh green silk, which should be gathered when the corn is 
matured and subjected to immediate treatment, thus avoiding the 
deterioration from fermentation, which rapidly ensues if subjected to 
more or less exposure during the hot, humid weather which generally 
prevails at that season of the year, resulting in the destruction and loss 
of maizenic acid, which constitutes the active principle upon which the 
medicinal value is so largely dependent. We exhaust every possible 
care in the selection of the corn silk, subjecting it to treatment within 
six to twelve hours after it has been gathered, so as to avoid the deterio- 
ration of the drug. Great care is exercised in the garbling and sepa- 
ration of the inferior brown portion, which is practically inert, and the 
bruising and cutting of the cellular tissues to facilitate the extraction of 
its active properties. Another important detail in the operation is the 
selection and application of an appropriate solvent to secure complete 
exhaustion and permanency. The menstruum we employ, the result 
of careful experimental observations, has been demonstrated conclu- 
sively to be the best adapted to hold permanently in solution its delicate 
constituents, using but a small percentage of alcohol, with sufficient 
glycerine to preserve the constituents in a form as desirable as if admin- 
istered by fresh infusion of the corn silk gathered but a few hours. 

The most flattering testimonial that we can possibly offer respecting 
the efficiency of our preparation is the enormous and regular increase 
in our yearly sales, coupled with letters from leading physicians and 
hospital clinics from all sections of the United States.

season of the year — that is, when fully matured and in proper con- 
dition to be at once subjected to the menstruum most certain to insure 
its complete exhaustion — that the fluid extract will represent unim- 
paired all the virtues, realizing fully the unquestioned fact that ergot is 
most susceptible to change and deterioration ; in fact, the crude drug 
becomes almost entirely inert in time, even when carefully kept. For 
that reason we import our entire supply of ergot direct from the most 
reliable sources, and have no hesitation in claiming that when at once 
treated and converted into fluid extract by our process it embodies in 
a permanent form all the active constituents, all of which is confirmed 
by therapeutic results which have for many years been fully realized or 
attested by medical men not only in the United States but throughout 
the world.

respecting its power to promote appetite and increase the nutritive 
energies of the body is considerable. This property has been observed 
by the laity in the localities where the plant grows, and is especially 
commented on by Dr. J. B. Reed in a communication in the Ameri- 
can Journal of Pharmacy, 1871, p. 171. Dr. Reed holds that " in all 
cases where a highly nutritive agent is needed it seems to apply well ; " 
and Dr. Dixon, in the Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery, 1888, 
pp. 120 and 284, asserts that " this is sedative, nutrient and diuretic, 
improves digestion, induces sleep, increases flesh and strength." 
According to this same authority, " the fluid extract of this valuable 
berry is far in advance of the Compound Hypophosphites " It is 
because of this property — the power to improve nutrition — that Saw 
Palmetto has come to be used in wasting diseases, especially in phthi- 
sis, and tuberculous diseases. In a paper in the American Therapist, 
vol. i, 1892, pp. 51 and 52, Dr. Dupon urges its use in consumption, 
finding it possessed of '"extraordinary fat-producing powers." The 
patients gain in weight, appetite is improved, expectoration diminishes, 
and with improvement in these respects there is a coincident decrease 
in cough, fever and other evil signs." Besides the internal adminis- 
tration of the fluid extract, Dr. Dopon advocates the inunction of the 
oil of Saw Palmetto with iodoform in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. 
The same authority advises the use of the fluid extract in the treat- 
ment of other pulmonary affections — in bronchitis and whooping- 
cough, especially the latter. He finds that it exerts a "marvellous 
power " in whooping-cough, modifying the course and shortening the 
duration of this disease. From the nature of its ingredients, it should 
be equally as serviceable in the treatment of asthma as in whooping- 
cough. Dilated bronchi and bronchorrhcea and catarrh of broncho- 
pulmonary mucous membrane in general are conditions in which the 
fluid extract is highly useful, according to all the authorities referred 
to above. 

For the same reason that Saw Palmetto is so useful in diseases of 
the respiratory tract — namely, because of the presence in it of a resin 
and a highly diffusible volatile oil — it is also serviceable in certain 
catarrhal affections of the genito-urinary tract. When administered by 
the mouth, presently the urine has a distinct odor of the drug. The 
resin and volatile oil escape from the system by the kidneys, the urine 
in consequence having a strong odor of these substances. In this way 
it occurs that a local action is exerted on the whole urinary tract. The 
physicians who have reported on its properties and uses are quite 
unanimous as respects the influence exerted by it on the genito-urinary 
apparatus. The local effects of Saw Palmetto on the mucous mem- 
brane are utilized in the treatment of catarrhal affections, such as 
pyelitis and cystitis. When gravel or calculi have set up a catarrh by 
reason of an irritant action which they exert on the mucous membrane, 
or when by extension of the morbid condition from the urethra a 
specific inflammation is caused, the best results may be expected from 
the administration of this remedy. Dr. S. F. Dupon. in the Ameri- 
can Therapist, vol. i, 1892, pp. 51, 52, says : " Much has been written 
lately upon the efficacy of Saw Palmetto in diseases of the bladder, 
prostate, etc., which I can most positively endorse, relief being often 
afforded from the local application of the tincture within an hour, 
while the urine is fully impregnated with the odor of the drug." 

There is much and emphatic testimony regarding the influence of 
Saw Palmetto over the functions of the reproductive system in both 
sexes. The possession of such powers is particularly important. Of

all aphrodisiacs, so called, few indeed specifically affect trie generative 
apparatus. The antaphrodisiacs are sufficiently numerous, but of those 
having the power to promote this function, except by serious disturb- 
ance of the spinal cord or genital plexus, few if any beside this agent 
really exist. According to Dr. Dixon {Pacific Record of Medicine 
and Surgery, 1888, pp. 120, 284), "it hasaspecial action on the glands 
of the reproductive system, as the mammae, ovaries, prostate and 
testes. ' ' He regards it as especially indicated in wasting of the testes, 
as occurs in varicocele or from sexual perversion, in atrophy of the 
prostate from sexual excess, and in uterine atrophy from ovarian 
degeneration ; also, in impotence due to the operation of these various 
causes of vital depression. Those who have reported on its utility in 
cases of impotence find that it is of especial service in this condition as 
caused by sexual excess, as in masturbation, overindulgence, ill-cured 
gonorrhoea, etc. It cannot be alleged that when impotence is struc- 
tural and the result of anatomical deficiencies any medical remedy can 
remove it ; but when the case is one originating in chronic urethritis, 
prostatic irritation, vesical troubles, the functional depression of abuse, 
and other causes of like character, Saw Palmetto is the most promising 
of the remedies now available for the treatment. One of the advocates 
of its utility, whom we have quoted above, says " its action is that of a 
great vitalizer," applying this phrase to indicate his conception of its 
power to regenerate the sexual function.

In connection with our remarks upon Saw Palmetto it may not be 
amiss to briefly refer to this palatable combination which has recently 
been introduced, and is regarded as a specific of some merit in the 
treatment of those cases of nervous depression and loss of mental and 
physical vigor, in which the combined therapeutic results of Saw 
Palmetto, Kola, Coca and Parsley are indicated. It apparently exerts 
a direct action upon the organs of reproduction, stimulating the 
glandular secretions and promoting a healthy and invigorating action 
upon the sexual glands, such as the mammae, ovaries, prostate, testes, 
etc. The value of this drug as an adjunct in the treatment of cases of 
debility is now clearly defined and associated with the stimulating 
properties of Coca, the sustaining qualities of Kola, which have been 
for a long time so fully recognized, as well as the addition of Parsley 
Seed, so highly commended as an emmenagogue in cases of dysmen- 
orrhcea and genito-spinal atony or loss of vital energy. It embodies a 
combination which we believe may prove of great benefit in conditions 
so difficult heretofore to treat successfully.

THE TREATMENT OF POISONING WITH 
ANTIDOTES. 

Unknown Poisons. — First ot all employ a stomach-pump, at once if 
possible ; provoke vomiting, give stimulants if necessary, but only bland 
and neutral liquids. 

Acids (Acetic, Muriatic, Nitric, Oxalic, Sulphuric).— Use the 
carbonates of sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium, and in the case 
of sulphuric do not give water. Stimulate the extremities by friction. 
Treat subsequent inflammation in the usual way. 

Alkalies (Ammonia, Soda, Potash, Lye). — Administer vinegar and 
promote vomiting. Give an opiate and stimulant if necessary. 

Antimony and Its Salts. — Give astringent infusions such as pre- 
pared from tannin, following this with a strong emetic and stimulant if 
necessary. 

Arsenic and ITS Compounds. — Provoke vomiting and give dialysed 
iron, repeating this several times. Follow this with castor oil and stim- 
ulants if necessary. 

Belladonna or Atropia. — Give repeatedly small doses of morphia, 
pilocarpine and eserine, hypodermatically ; caustic alkalies to destroy the 
active principle, and produce vomiting with apomorphia. 

Cannabis Indica. — Cannabis is antagonized by caustic alkalies, vine- 
gar and other acids ; strychnine, electricity, antimonials and blisters to 
the nape of the neck. 

Chloral. — First, stimulants to the heart and respiration, and, second, 
attempts directed toward increasing temperature. Strychnine, atropine 
and amyl nitrite (by inhalation) . 

Chloroform. — Produce artificial respiration, lowering the head and 
elevating the legs ; inhale ammonia and inject hypodermatically brandy, 
strychnia, strophanthus or digitalis. 

Copper and Its Salts. — Vomiting to be promoted by copious 
draughts of warm water or milk. Do not give vinegar. Infusions of 
oak bark or ferrocyanide of potash should be given, followed by emetics. 

Digitalis. — Evacuate the stomach and bowels and keep the patient 
rigidly in a horizontal position. Tea, coffee, albumen, tannin, opium, 
chloride of iron, nitroglycerin and aconite are effective remedies. 

Iodine and ITS Compounds. — Starch, wheat and flour well diluted 
with water ; follow this with vinegar and a cathartic. Treat the inflam- 
matory symptoms in the usual manner. 



Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 343 

Lead and ITS Salts. — Magnesium sulphate and sodium sulphate 
should be given for the soluble salts, and sulphuric acid for the solid 
form. Give opium with a saline cathartic and olive oil. 

Mercury and Its Salts. — Administer the white of eggs, wheat- 
flour or milk freely, evacuating the stomach soon after by means of 
emetics, or preferably by a stomach-pump. 

Opium. — The first indication is to empty and wash out the stomach. 
Emetics may be used, but large doses will be required. The stomach- 
siphon is preferable, if it can be used. By means of it antidotes can be 
introduced into the stomach as soon as it is washed out. Since opium is 
eliminated into the stomach from the blood-vessels and then reabsorbed 
by it, frequent lavage of the stomach is advised. Tannic acid and per- 
manganate of potash are chemical antidotes to opium, and a solution of 
one of these may be placed within the stomach by means of the stomach- 
siphon. Permanganate of potash, if given while the poison still remains 
in the stomach, will decompose the morphine. A quantity of the per- 
manganate, at least equal to the amount of morphine swallowed, should 
be administered, well diluted with water. Give hypodermatic injections 
of atropia or caffeine. Follow this with cathartics and the usual reme- 
dies to counteract irritation. 

Phosphorus.— Give a mixture of hydrated magnesia repeatedly and 
produce vomiting by tickling. 

Strychnia. — Tannin at first with an emetic. Use a stomach-pump, 
following this with tea or coffee. Inhale chloroform and administer 
maximum doses of potassium bromide. 



THE SIGNS, SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS 
USED BY APOTHECARIES AND PHYSICIANS. 



Compiled by John S. White. 



a, alembicfe, 

a., aa., aa, ana. Equal parts. Of each 
(ingredient) by weight or measure. The 
use of these abbreviations dates back to 
the time of Hippocrates. In the old 
pharmacopoeias singulorum is used in- 
stead of ana. Utriusque is another term 
signifying "of each."

the beginning of prescriptions in an- 
cient times.

ad. (See add.) This word is not an abbre- 
viation. Its equivalent in English is the 
word to or at, as ad deliquium, to faint- 
ing, or ad libitum, at pleasure. In pre- 
scription or formula writing the use of 
ad and add, and q. s. ad, has been the 
cause of much uncertainty to the apoth- 
ecary. The meaning of ad is illustrated 
in the following formula : 

Jfc. Tr. Ferri Chlor 5j 

Sp. Vini Rect 5ij 

Aqua Pur Siss 

Glycerinse ad Siv 

M., etc. 

Here ad means that glycerine is to be 

added to the preceding articles, that the 

?[uantity may be brought up to a total of 
our ounces. The use of q. s. here before 
ad is not necessary, though it adds to the 
definiteness of the prescription. Q. s. 
may be used alone and, for the sake of 
clearness, ad omitted in such cases. 

ad, (not an abbreviation), at. 

ad aptam crassitudinem, to a proper con- 
sistence. 

ad concil iandum gus turn , to suit the taste.

add. This is an abbreviation of adde or 

addantur, meaning add, or let be added. 



add. An English word derived from the 
I^atin addere, meaning to unite, to join 
together, to add_ together or to each 
other. A dd here is not an abbreviation, 
neither is ad; the first is English, the 
latter I^atin. (See ad.) Where the word 
ad is used it should be understood that 
the article it follows is to be added in 
sufficient quantity to make the specific 
amount ; while add should mean that 
the article it follows is to be added to all 
the preceding articles. (See his adde.)
